"I can confirm Crapo is attending a [Majority Leader Chuck] Schumer CODEL [Congress' delegation] to China, Japan and South Korea," the spokesperson said on Monday.
The spokesperson also said Crapo told US media outlet they hope to meet with Xi, but that it has not been confirmed.
Media reported earlier in the day that the senators want to raise issues with Xi related to problems US microchip company Micron Technology faces operating in China.
In May, China's Cyberspace Administration announced that Micron Technology would be banned from selling to critical infrastructure operators after it was found to pose a national security risk. China's Cybersecurity Administration is currently conducting an investigation into the US semiconductor company, according to media reports.
