The Washington Wizards, the first NBA team to visit China in 1979, are currently in China to commemorate 30 years of China-US relations.

Then called the 'Washington Bullets', the team visited China at the invitation of the then Chinese leader Deng Xiaoping. This came about in response to Deng's visit to the United States and the normalization of Sino-U.S. relations thirty years ago.
