The U.S.-China Working Group is a bipartisan working group from the United States House of Representatives that educates Congressional Members and staff on Sino-American relations.
Created in June 2005[1] by Rep. Mark Kirk and Rep. Rick Larsen, the U.S.-China Working Group educates on the Sino-American relationship's issues through meetings and briefings with academic, businesses and political leaders from both China and the United States.
