Sanctions on China to remain even with Sino-US tensions set to ease under President Joe Biden: HK’s American Chamber of Commerce

HONG KONG, Jan 24 (SCMP): United States sanctions imposed on China over its approach to Hong Kong will remain for the foreseeable future, even with Sino-US relations set to improve under President Joe Biden, a powerful American business group in the city has predicted.

Jessica Bartlett, the new chairwoman of the American Chamber of Commerce in Hong Kong (AmCham), said on Friday that she expected US ties with Beijing and the local government to be less confrontational than they were under Donald Trump’s presidency.
