As Senator Mitch McConnell remains hospitalized, his wife, Elaine Chao, has been active overseas, participating in various public engagements.
● On June 12, just before McConnell's hospitalization, Chao visited Shanghai Jia Tong University, where she and her father donated historical photos to the Ruth Mulan Chu Chao Memorial Hall, honoring her mother. This marked her 12th visit to the university, reflecting her family’s long-standing philanthropic ties.
● Following McConnell's hospitalization on June 14, Chao met with Wu Ken, the president of the Chinese People's Institute of Foreign Affairs, in Beijing on June 16 to discuss U. S.-China relations.
● The next day, she met with Chinese Vice President Han Zheng, where they shared a commitment to strengthening China-U. S. relations, discussing a constructive vision for future bilateral ties.
● Chao served as U. S. Secretary of Transportation from 2017 to 2021 and was formerly Secretary of Labor under President George W. Bush.
● McConnell was admitted to the hospital on June 14, and details about his condition have been scarce since then.
While Mitch McConnell is hospitalized, Elaine Chao actively engages in international discussions to promote U. S.-China relations, further emphasizing her diplomatic role.
