US Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo said she spoke with Chinese officials about a recent hacking of her emails and used that as an example of something that “erodes trust” in the relationship.
“I did mention that my own emails had been hacked,” Raimondo told reporters when asked about the breach at the end of a multi-day trip to Beijing and Shanghai. “I mentioned that as an example of an action that erodes trust at a time that we are trying to stabilize the relationship and increase channels of communication.”
Raimondo this week became the fourth high-level US official to travel to the world’s second-largest economy in recent months as Washington and Beijing try to stabilize their relationship. While on the trip, she stressed the need for trade and transparency for better economic ties between the world’s top two economies.
US-China tensions remain high. Last month Bloomberg News reported that Raimondo was among the US officials whose emails were breached in a hack of government accounts that Microsoft Corp. has said originated from China. At the time, China’s Foreign Ministry responded by saying the US “should account for its cyberattacks as soon as possible rather than spread false information and divert attention.

Chip stocks: Why Secretary Raimondo’s China visit mattersU.S. Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo visited China this week in a bid to ease some of the tensions between the United States and China. Axios Global Tech Correspondent Ryan Heath joins Yahoo Finance Live to discuss what this means for chipmakers and for the future of U.S. and China relations. Investors and chipmakers should be “mildly encouraged” about communication between the United States and China, Heath says. “The more transparency, the more dialogue, the better for you as a chipmaker,” Heath explains. “U.S. exports to China are still basically at record levels and that also includes for some forms of chips” and the “broad environment is still reasonable encouraging,” Heath notes. Heath says Raimondo 'is extremely well regarded by the White House' and 'is treated as a serious player by the people she is talking to in Beijing, you know, that’s exactly the right person that you want there having these discussions. It doesn’t guarantee any outcomes in the future, but it gives you a solid basis for having a more functional relationship.”
