High-level discussions between U.S. and Chinese officials are focusing on electric vehicle and battery supply chain projects as tensions over trade and technology intensify ahead of a planned summit. The talks reflect growing concerns in Washington about China’s dominance in critical clean energy sectors, including battery production and EV manufacturing. Both sides are reportedly reviewing joint ventures and investment deals to assess risks to U.S. supply chains and national security interests. Analysts suggest the negotiations could reshape future cooperation—or further strain relations—between the world’s two largest economies.
