US Congressional Group Plans Annual Visits to China After Trade Trip The recent fact finding mission by US congressional delegates to Beijing, Shanghai, and Hangzhou may signal a shift in the tone of Sino US relations.
Since 2019, members of the US China Economic and Security Review Commission (USCC) have not ventured into China's economic heartlands. This year, they sought to expand areas of cooperation amidst rising trade tensions.
Established in 2000, the USCC has been a vocal critic of China's economic practices, producing annual reports that scrutinize Beijing's policies on intellectual property rights, state owned enterprises, and currency manipulation.
