During a recent visit to Beijing, Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo addressed the issue of her email being hacked, expressing her steadfast approach to confronting the Chinese. Responding to critics who argue that she should understand China’s hostility given her position, Raimondo emphasized her direct and clear communication with her Chinese counterparts, refraining from sugarcoating anything. She stressed the erosion of trust caused by such hacking incidents and made it clear that the United States is not oblivious to China’s actions.
Raimondo revealed that during her meetings, she raised the issue with the Chinese officials and highlighted the difficulty in establishing trust when such actions take place. China’s response, however, seemed evasive as they claimed to be unaware and suggested that the hacking was unintentional. Despite this, Raimondo believes it was important to bring the problem to the table and make the Chinese officials aware of the negative consequences on trust-building efforts.
Raimondo recently returned from China after engaging in discussions with government officials and business leaders, aiming to mend the strained relationships between the two largest economies. She considers the trip a success as it laid the foundation for future communication channels, which she emphasizes as vital in fostering any relationship.
It is worth noting that Raimondo’s visit is part of a series of high-profile trips to China undertaken by various cabinet members in recent months. This continued engagement demonstrates the ongoing efforts to improve diplomatic ties.
