Right after Xi took office in China, I read his Five Year Plan:
So far, it seems to be working:
Obama criticized a Chinese law that could stifle U.S. tech business in China. The legislation would require companies to hand over encryption keys to the countrys government, and create back doors into their systems to give the Chinese government access. Later, China imposed excessive duties on companies, which import any foreign-made components, used to manufacture or assemble electronics and communications equipment in China.

China awarded Ivanka Trump seven trademarks - especially on US voting machines - around the same time President Trump spent US tax-dollars, to save a Chinese telecom equipment maker, on the verge of going bust from U.S. sanctions. Last year, Ivanka Trumps clothing line received three trademarks on the same day she dined with Chinese President Xi Jinping at the Trump Mar-a-Lago estate, dubbed the Summer White House, where Teflon Don will spend Thanksgiving, in 2018. https://www.mercurynews.com/2018/11/06/ivanka-trumps-latest-trademarks-in-china-include-voting-machines-sausage-casings/

Obama seems more concerned than the author of this WaPo article. I'm going with Obama.
The approvals by Beijing on Oct. 13 were notable for their timing, coming just as Chinese and U.S. officials were seeking to restart trade talks that had collapsed amid acrimony. They also raised eyebrows for covering a grab-bag of products, including electoral hardware in a country not exactly known for its elections. ...
Given the scattershot nature of the applications, the 16 bids that China greenlighted in October gave Ivanka Trump a foothold in a sprawling number of markets.
