A U.S. congressional delegation visits China for the first time in six years, as Sino-U.S. relations face new challenges.

Ambassador Pong Wei of the United States wrote today (September 21) afternoon: "It is a great honor to welcome Congressman Adam Smith, Michael Baumgartner, Ro Khanna, and Chris Hayes to China. This is the first House delegation to visit China since 2019. This bipartisan team plays a crucial role in managing U.S.-China relations."

[Witty] Comment: Although the U.S. ambassador welcomed the congressional delegation that had not visited China for six years and emphasized its "crucial" importance, it is hard to hide the difficulties in U.S.-China relations over the past six years. The tariff war, trade war, and technology war initiated unilaterally by the U.S. have left deep scars on U.S.-China relations. As the most important bilateral relationship in the world, stability should be mutually beneficial and bring benefits to the world. However, the U.S. frequently stirs up trouble to maintain its hegemonic position. Now, this visit to China seems more like a desperate move after all the troubles. If the U.S. does not abandon the zero-sum mindset and sincerely cooperate, the so-called "management of relations" will only be self-deception.
