Beijing

CHINA has granted US President Donald Trump preliminary approval for another trademark in apparel, expanding business interests that have already generated criticism over potential conflicts.

Mr Trump, the businessman, has collected trademarks that span a broad range of countries and industries, including soap in India and vodka in Israel. With the latest approval in China, Mr Trump could bring his total trademarks in the country to 116, giving his business empire greater access to the world's second-largest economy.
