The visit comes in the middle of the ongoing tension over the trade, Tiktok and military activity in the South China Sea.
The delegation led by a democratic representative Adam Smith met in the Great Hall of the People. Smith emphasized the importance of renewed engagement after years without formal visits to the house.
“We can acknowledge that China and the US have to do a job to strengthen this relationship, which should not be what, seven, six years between visits to the American house of representatives,” Smith Premier Li said.
“We need more of these types of exchanges and we hope that it will break the ice and start to have more of these types of exchanges.”
Prime Minister Li welcomed the delegation and described the way as an “ice abuse” mission that would further bilateral cooperation.
“It is important that our two countries have more exchanges and cooperation, not only good for our two countries, but also great importance to the world,” said Li.

The delegations also included Michael Baumgartner, a Republican in the Committee on Foreign Affairs, along with the Democrats RO Khanna and Chrissy Houlahan from the Armed Services Committee. The legislators will remain in China until Thursday.
Tiktok Next and traction connection
The visit follows a rush of discussion in the US and China, including a recent phone call between President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping. The waiting agreement would give us US companies control over the Tiktoku algorithm, while American citizens who have six out of seven seats on the album are supervised by the application operations.
“Great American patriots are planning to buy this application … They are very intelligent technologically and will not allow tiktoku to happen,” Trump said.
The White House Secretary Karoline Leitt confirmed the administration optimism: “Trump) recognized the need to protect the privacy and data of Americans while maintaining this application open. Tiktok is an important part of our democratic process.”
