Commerce Sec'y: We Take Hacking Seriously, But I'll Still Visit China Despite It, We Have to Lay Out Concerns over Tech

On Friday's broadcast of CNBC's "Squawk on the Street," Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo said she still plans to visit China despite their reported hacking of her and U.S. Ambassador to China Nicholas Burns but the trip "doesn't mean that we excuse any kind of hacking or infringement on our security. What it means is that we need to be ferocious in the way we protect American national security, but also de-escalate tension where we can and look for ways that we can work together." And that laying out "our really serious concerns about the way they're targeting U.S. tech companies" is one objective for the trip.
