BEIJING: A group of US lawmakers on a rare visit to Beijing told China's No.2 leader, Premier Li Qiang, that the world's two largest economies need to step up engagement and "break the ice" as both superpowers made further inroads into stabilising ties.

The visit on Sunday (Sept 21) was the first House of Representatives delegation to visit China since 2019.
