The visit by members of the House armed services committee comes amid a wider effort by the two sides to improve military communications
It was the first reported visit by members of the House of Representatives to China since 2019. A party of senators last visited in 2023.
The delegation was led by Democrat Adam Smith, the former chairman of the House armed services committee, Reuters reported.
The group also included two other members of the committee – Democrats Ro Khanna and Chrissy Houlahan – as well as Republican Michael Baumgartner. They are expected to stay in China until Thursday.
The two countries have been trying to re-establish military communication channels since Beijing shut down contacts in 2022 to protest at a visit to Taiwan by former House speaker Nancy Pelosi.
