US Senate Delegation Led by Schumer Embarks on Asia Tour
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer is set to lead a bipartisan delegation of six senators on a trip to China next week, where they will meet with Chinese government and business leaders to discuss contentious issues such as human rights violations, China's role in the fentanyl epidemic, unfair trade practices, and global competition. The visit comes at a challenging moment in US-China relations, as the Biden administration seeks to reduce reliance on China and restrict its access to advanced technology. The delegation will also make stops in Japan and South Korea during the weeklong Senate recess.
