This is the best summary I could come up with:
Chinese President Xi Jinping on Monday told a delegation of top US lawmakers that relations between their respective countries would impact “the destiny of mankind.”
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY), who led the six-person US delegation, agreed with Xi, saying: "Our countries, together, will shape this century.
China has yet to wholeheartedly condemn Russia for its invasion of neighboring Ukraine, emphasizing instead the deep ties between Beijing and Moscow and giving tacit approval of Russian President Vladimir Putin’s war of aggression.
He also urged Beijing to clamp down on the export of chemical substances that China currently supplies to Mexico, where drug cartels use them to produce deadly fentanyl, which is ravaging the US.
Lastly, the delegation made a plea for the “advancement of human rights” with an eye to reported abuses of ethnic Uyghur at the hands of Chinese officials in the western Xinjiang region.
After years of sharp diplomatic deterioration stemming from disputes over subjects such as trade, the fate of Taiwan, human rights abuses and military influence over the Pacific, Schumer’s is the latest in a series of high-level US delegations to travel to Beijing.
