Tensions have been mounting between the world's two biggest economies since US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi visited the island of Taiwan in early August.

China condemned Pelosi's trip, which it regarded as a gesture of support for separatism, and launched large-scale military exercises in the vicinity of the island.

The US has recently approved $1.1 billion for a potential arms deal with Taiwan which Taipei intends to use to increase its security budget.

It has also waged a massive campaign aimed at undermining China's tech dominance by tightening "export controls" vis-à-vis Beijing and barring the sale of Chinese-made memory chips on the US market.
