U.S. and Chinese trade negotiators are planning to meet next in September but in the meantime a group of U.S. lawmakers will travel to Beijing in a push to expand links between the world’s two largest economies.

The group includes Democratic Representative Alan Lowenthal of a California district that’s centered in Long Beach, whose port -- together with the twin Port of Los Angeles -- are a major U.S. gateway for the Asian market.
