US Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer accused Chinese firms of 'fueling' a drug addiction crisis in the United States.

US Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer accused Chinese firms of "fueling" a drug addiction crisis in the United States, as he met with officials in Shanghai on the first leg of a visit to the country.

Washington this week sanctioned a China-based network for producing and distributing chemicals used to make drugs -- including those fueling the deadly fentanyl crisis in America. "We believe we need reciprocity, allowing American companies to compete as freely in China as Chinese companies are able to compete here," he said.Bloomberg has reported his delegation is seeking a meeting with President Xi Jinping.

Beijing's foreign ministry said the trip would "promote dialogue and exchanges between the legislative bodies of the two countries, and inject positive elements into the development of China-US relations".
