U.S. senators arrive in China seeking Xi meeting

A bipartisan delegation of U.S. lawmakers led by Senate Majority Chief Chuck Schumer arrived in China on Saturday, the most recent high-level U.S. officers to go to China as Washington seeks to ease tensions with Beijing.

Schumer is about to satisfy with senior officers in Shanghai earlier than heading to Beijing, the place Bloomberg Information has reported his delegation is searching for a gathering with Chinese language chief Xi Jinping.

The delegation’s aircraft landed early afternoon in Shanghai, China’s financial powerhouse, the place they have been greeted by Ambassador Nicholas Burns.
