The trip's goal is to advance US economic and national security interests in the region and will feature meetings with government leaders and business leaders from each country and from US companies operating in each country
WASHINGTON, DC, USA – A bipartisan US Senate delegation will visit China, Japan, and South Korea in October, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer’s office said on Tuesday, October 3.
Schumer has repeatedly urged the United States to take a harder line on China, and urged lawmakers earlier this year to begin new legislation aimed at addressing concerns about the world’s second-biggest economy. The trip will follow visits by a series of Biden administration officials, including Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo in August.
Schumer “will focus on the need for reciprocity in China for US businesses that will level the playing field for American workers, as well as on maintaining US leadership in advanced technologies for national security,” his office said. China welcomes Schumer’s visit and hopes it will deepen the US Senate’s “objective” understanding of China and facilitate dialogues between the nations’ legislative agencies, China’s foreign ministry said on Wednesday.
