The Report:

Ivanka Trump secured three trademarks for her goods in China on the same day she met Xi Jinping, the Chinese president, it has been revealed.

The issue raises serious concerns about conflicts of interest for the daughter of Donald Trump, who acts as an advisor to the US president.

Ms Trump’s company won provisional approval from Chinese authorities for three new trademarks, giving monopoly rights to sell Ivanka brand jewelry, bags and spa services in the world’s second-largest economy, the Associated Press said.

China's Response:

Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokesman Lu Kang was asked about the trademarks Wednesday, a day after The Associated Press reported that Ivanka Trump had won provisional approval for at least five marks since her father's January inauguration. Three of those approvals were granted April 6, the day Ivanka Trump and her husband sat next to Chinese President Xi Jinping and his wife for dinner at Trump's Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida.

Lu said that China follows the law in granting trademarks and "the principle of giving equal protection to foreign trademark holders."

Asked about the timing of the April 6 approvals, Lu said: "There are perhaps some media engaging in hyping certain gossip to hint at something undisclosed. I can tell you that they will never succeed."

Ivanka's Response:

In a statement Tuesday, a spokesperson for the Ivanka Trump brand said the 2017 Chinese trademarks were filed defensively to prevent counterfeiters or squatters from using her name.

Ivanka and Jared work for the president? Why do they even need trademarks, they shouldn't even have businesses since they work for the government? Conflict of interest, red flags everywhere

Shame she seemed like a nice person!

Please God in my next life let me be a wealthy heir/heiress to a multimillionaire/President elect...

Instead of a college graduate who has to work his way to his millions.
