The US senator is leading a bipartisan congressional delegation in Beijing.
BEIJING: US Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer today called on China to support Israel after deadly attacks by Hamas, adding he was “disappointed” that Beijing showed “no sympathy” for the country over the weekend.
Schumer is leading a bipartisan congressional delegation to Asia, which includes stops in South Korea and Japan. “I was very disappointed, to be honest, by the foreign ministry statement that showed no sympathy or support for Israel during these troubled times,” he added. Today, Schumer reiterated that the main objective of the trip was to seek economic reciprocity and the creation of a level playing field for US businesses in China, and assured that Washington was not seeking conflict with Beijing.
Other senators on the trip include Republicans Bill Cassidy and John Kennedy, and Democrats Maggie Hassan and Jon Ossoff.
