A bipartisan delegation of U.S. House members met China's Premier Li Qiang in Beijing to press for expanded military-to-military dialogue and closer bilateral cooperation. The visit was the first House trip to Beijing since 2019 and follows a Senate visit in 2023. Li described the meeting as an "icebreaking trip" and emphasized the importance of exchanges and cooperation for both countries and the world. Delegation leaders included Rep. Adam Smith, Michael Baumgartner, Ro Khanna, and Chrissy Houlahan.
