The smuggling of the lethal drug fentanyl, a big sticking point in US-China relations, is the target of American actions against Chinese businesses and individuals next week.
Schumer and another lawmakers reportedly pressed Chinese officials about the matter during their visit.
Schumer added that” they said they would glance into that” and that he” asked Xi to name a senior official on the China side” to be in charge of fentanyl.
The meetings had been” remarkably successful ,” according to Republican Mike Crapo, co-leader of the visit.
We were open and honest but polite, he told the media. ” We want the relationship to go on.”
Schumer stated on Monday that he urged Xi to support Israel in the wake of Hamas’ deadly attacks on last Saturday, adding that it was” disappointed” that Beijing had shown” no sympathy” for the nation over the weekend.
China’s foreign government responded by urging” relevant parties” to put an end to conflicts and supporting” implementing the two-state answer.”
According to a Chinese state media reading, Xi stated during the meeting on Monday that” rivals and opposition are not in line with the tendency of the times.”
