U.S. National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan met with Chinese President Xi Jinping in a significant dialogue focusing on economic security concerns. Sullivan raised issues regarding China's practices that potentially disadvantage foreign businesses, including vague regulations and government subsidies favoring local companies. Despite the discussions, no agreements were reached. This meeting is seen as part of ongoing efforts to manage U.S.-China relations amidst increasing tensions over trade, finance, and technology, especially after Biden endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris as the Democratic presidential nominee.

The ongoing trade tensions and discussions about economic security highlight a potential for further sanctions or restrictions on Chinese companies by the U.S., which could negatively impact the Chinese market. Conversely, any positive undertones from the meetings may indicate a window for easing tensions, potentially benefiting U.S. tech firms trading with China.

As the U.S. and China continue to grapple with their economic interactions, ETFs focused on emerging markets may experience volatility. If tensions escalate, these investments could see a decline in value due to reduced business confidence.
