A bipartisan group of US senators hopes to meet President Xi Jinping in China next week, as a flurry of diplomacy bolsters expectations of a leaders meeting between the two superpowers.
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and his Republican colleague Senator Mike Crapo, who are leading the delegation, will raise the issue of Micron Technology Inc.’s ability to do business in the country during their trip, according to people familiar with the preparations who asked not to be identified discussing private planning. The company faces an ongoing probe by the Chinese government’s cybersecurity administration.
