U.S. Contemplates Blocking Agricultural Land Purchases by Chinese Investors, Analyst Labels Decision as Obstacle in Trade Negotiations with China

Despite recent speculation, there is no concrete evidence to suggest that US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent will be meeting his Chinese counterpart in the near future. A search of available information reveals no planned or scheduled meeting between the two as of early August 2025 [1][2][3][4].

The search results primarily focus on Secretary Bessent’s recent comments on financial regulation, EU tariffs on Chinese goods, and broader international economic issues like the BRICS summit. However, they do not mention any specific meeting with Chinese officials.

As of now, based on the current available information, no details about an upcoming meeting between Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and his Chinese counterpart can be confirmed. If required, I can assist in checking again later or looking for related ongoing diplomatic events.

Stay tuned for further updates on this topic.
