US lawmakers seek to ‘break the ice’ in China visit amid trade, TikTok tensions
In a week marked by tense phone calls and high-stakes negotiations, a group of US lawmakers has touched down in China on a rare visit, hoping to thaw icy ties between the two superpowers, Al Jazeera reported.
The trip comes as Washington and Beijing remain at odds over trade, the fate of TikTok, and rising military tensions in the South China Sea.
According to a US media pool report, the members of the US House of Representatives met on Sunday with Chinese Premier Li Qiang at the Great Hall of the People in Beijing and relayed that they hoped to “break the ice” as the superpowers try to make progress on stabilising ties.
