Looks like a carefully calibrated list of small fish. Nothing that could make headlines or have a real impact. My guess it's a purely symbolic gesture of good will to ensure that Raimondo gets to meet some of the real decision makers in Beijing, where bigger fish will be negotiated.

This could also be tit-for-tat, as China has recently opened group tours to US, Japan, SK, and Australia, giving their tourism industries a needed boost.

Tbh, I don't know if this is worth it (if that's everything that will be conceded).

Anadolu Agency. “Police hand over investigation to US authorities following deadly dispute in German town of Wittlich.”
Two US servicemen detained on suspicion of stabbing a local young man to death, officials confirmed Sunday.

The 28-year-old victim was on his way home when a quarrel broke out and he was stabbed near his front door. He was the manager of a security service and was known as a martial artist in Wittlich.

The two servicemen were with two other people at the funfair and all four of them fled the scene following the stabbing.

The Trier prosecutor's office has handed over the case to US prosecutors in accordance with a NATO statute.

But one thing's for sure, NYC Chinatown is not gonna be the same. Next time some criminal gets arrested in NYC, the cops might tell him: "You're goin to Chinatown!"
