The U.S. and China conduct hundreds of billions of dollars worth of trade with each other, yet they remain at odds in the political arena. Although each government can claim their grievances, business operators have more to gain with more open communication.

Trump’s hardline stance against Chinese influence put popular apps TikTok and WeChat in the crosshairs during his final year in office, but his predecessor shares with him a history of restricting Chinese tech companies in the U.S. as well.
