McConnell’s Wife Makes Bizarre Overseas Trip While He’s Hospitalized

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.
