Schumer Says US Seeks Competition With China, Not Conflict

A bipartisan delegation of US senators arrived in China on Saturday, with Majority Leader Chuck Schumer saying America seeks competition and not conflict with the Asian superpower.

The senators met the Shanghai Communist Party secretary, Chen Jining, after landing early afternoon. Besides holding talks with senior officials in the city, they will visit US companies in Shanghai before heading to Beijing, where the delegation is seeking to meet President Xi Jinping.
