The CEO of the US Chamber of Commerce, Suzanne Clark, is leading a delegation of former US government officials to Beijing this week, the group said.
The group will meet senior Chinese government officials and local business leaders, as well as American business executives and foreign diplomats, according to a representative of the chamber, the leading group representing business interests in the United States.
The visit comes as the United States and China gradually resume engagements after the two economic superpowers’ most tense relations in years, at loggerheads over the future of self-ruled island ruled Taiwan, territorial claims in the South China Sea and trade policies.
