The organization said the two discussed U.S.-China relations and “other issues of common interest.”

The following day, the Embassy of the People’s Republic of China in the United States announced that Chao met with Chinese Vice President Han Zheng during her visit.

Chinese officials did not indicate that Chao’s trip involved any official U.S. government business.

According to the embassy, the meeting focused on strengthening relations between China and the United States.

Meanwhile, the Daily Beast reported that Chao traveled to China just three days after McConnell reportedly had a cardiac arrest and underwent CPR.

The DB also reported that Chao met with the Chinese vice president, a largely ceremonial position.

Photographs published by Chinese state media show Chao meeting with Han Zheng on June 17.

According to Chinese officials, the two discussed efforts to strengthen relations between China and the United States, though Chao has no authority to negotiate anything on behalf of the U.S. government.

The timing of the visit has drawn additional attention following McConnell’s hospitalization on June 14.

Earlier this week, emergency dispatch audio first published by journalist Desirée Townsend indicated that first responders were dispatched to McConnell’s Washington, D.C., residence for a reported cardiac arrest.

McConnell’s office has confirmed that the Kentucky senator remains hospitalized but has released few additional details about his condition.

His staff has not publicly addressed his prognosis or who is overseeing day-to-day operations in his Senate office during his absence.

“Senator McConnell appreciates the outpouring of support he’s receiving while he continues his recovery in the hospital,” an emailed statement from his office said, per the DB.
