Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer told Chinese President Xi Jinping in a rare meeting Monday that he was "very disappointed" that China failed to condemn the deadly Hamas attack on Israel, as China says that its relationship with the U.S. "will determine the future of humanity."
Schumer, D-N.Y., led a delegation of three Democrat and three Republican senators in U.S. lawmakers’ first visit to Beijing since 2019.
"The China-U.S. relationship is the most important bilateral relationship in the world," a Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson said Monday in a post on X, along with a photo of Schumer and Xi shaking hands. "How China and the U.S. get along will determine the future of humanity."
