Many US businesses have called on the US government to lift additional tariffs on Chinese goods, arguing that such a move is even more important amid supply chain disruptions and rising inflation. Craig Allen, president of the US-China Business Council, a group that represents more than 260 companies that do business with China including Boeing, Microsoft and GM, told People's Daily in an interview that bilateral trade relations are strong, and many US companies are still optimistic about the Chinese market and plan to increase investment in China.
