Rare! The U.S. has taken diplomatic action toward China! A bipartisan delegation of U.S. Congress members has set off on a visit to China—could this be preheating for Trump’s potential trip? On May 5th, according to VOA, U.S. media reported that as the U.S.-China summit approaches, a bipartisan group of U.S. Senate lawmakers has arrived in China and is expected to visit Shanghai and Beijing this week.

Republican U.S. Senator Steve Daines issued a written statement saying that the congressional delegation he leads will visit multiple technology enterprises during their stay and meet with Chinese officials. He anticipates this visit will be constructive. I believe we must maintain a clear-eyed perspective—toward China, we must have the vigilance of an eagle. Clearly, this move by the United States is unusual.

Just after high-level communications between the two sides, the U.S. Air Force C-17 heavy transport aircraft also delivered relevant equipment to China. Now, a U.S. congressional delegation is heading to China. It is evident that diplomatic interactions between China and the United States have become exceptionally frequent in the short term. Within just a few days, multiple diplomatic moves by the United States have occurred in rapid succession—this can, to some extent, be seen as the U.S. urgently preparing and laying groundwork for high-level exchanges between the two countries, paving the way and scouting terrain ahead of a possible Trump visit to China.

This bipartisan delegation includes members from both the Republican and Democratic parties, enabling it to represent positions across different political camps in Congress while also facilitating policy coordination between the White House and Congress. Clearly, this is far from a routine ceremonial visit. The facts are plain: friction continues in tech and economic trade areas between China and the U.S., and these differences and tensions require both American political parties to assess and define them, so as to establish a stable and consistent policy toward China. Evidently, the likelihood of Trump visiting China as scheduled is growing increasingly high.
