HONG KONG -- When Xia Haijun stood with a beaming Donald Trump for a photo op in 2008 after clinching a multimillion-dollar property deal, the chief executive of China Evergrande Group never imagined that 10 years later his company would appear on the now-U.S. president's blacklist.
Evergrande, China's third-largest property developer by sales, has been accused by the Trump administration of stealing American technology and intellectual property after it agreed to acquire a small electric-vehicle startup last year.
