Chinese President Xi Jinping told US Senate Leader Chuck Schumer in Beijing on Monday that China and the United States should respect each other and work together to strengthen China-US relations.
China-US relations are the most important bilateral relations in the world, and I would like to take this opportunity to hear the views of the other side.
Hsieh said.
According to Chinese state media, Xi also added that several US senators will be welcomed in China, and expressed his hope that lawmakers from the two countries will have more exchanges. “The economies of China and the United States are closely interconnected, and the two countries can mutually benefit from each other’s development,” the Chinese president said. Schumer, who leads the Democratic faction in the Senate with a small majority, is currently visiting China at the head of a bipartisan delegation in Congress, and will later visit South Korea and Japan. Its purpose is to advance America’s national economic and security interests.
The United States passed a bill last year to limit Chinese exports of semiconductors and other technology, and then Schumer and Democratic leaders said in May that they would introduce legislation that would limit technology transfers to China, deter China from inciting conflict with Taiwan, and tighten rules. Which prevents China from inciting conflict with Taiwan. Prevent American capital from going to Chinese companies. In this regard, Schumer stressed on Monday that the main purpose of the trip is to create economic exchange and equal opportunities for American companies in China, and stressed that Washington does not seek a conflict with Beijing.
China must also provide equal opportunities for American companies and workers. Many Americans, including our delegation, do not believe that fair treatment now exists
Schumer said.
The group of six senators, headed by Republican Mike Crapo, will meet with government and business leaders from the three countries, as well as officials from US companies operating in the region, during the visits.
