UPDATE 1-Visiting China, Schumer urgest fair treatment of US firms

[admin]

U.S. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer said on Saturday Washington did not seek to decouple from China, but wanted reciprocal and fair treatment for U.S. companies, as he kicked off a rare trip to the world's second-largest economy. Schumer, who made the remarks at a meeting with Chen Jining, Shanghai's Communist Party Secretary, said the United States did not seek conflict and wanted to achieve a level playing field, "as we compete economically." Schumer is leading a bipartisan congressional delegation to Asia, which includes stops in South Korea and Japan.
