A bipartisan House delegation will visit China later this month, per NBC News.

The trip is being organized by Rep. Adam Smith (D-Calif.), who told NBC News the trip is “fairly significant.” Smith is the ranking member on the House Armed Services Committee.

“It’s part of wanting to try to open up a dialogue between the U.S. and China,” Smith added. “And I personally think it’s important that you do that.”
