US Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen (76) is expected in Beijing this week amid intense tensions between China and the United States. As announced by her ministry, Yellen will travel to China from Thursday to Sunday. Your visit follows the visit of US Secretary of State Antony Blinken (61) to Beijing in May and is intended to strengthen communication channels between the two sides.
Their talks should include macroeconomic and financial developments around the world, according to the US Treasury Department’s website on Tuesday. Speaking in Beijing, Yellen wanted to talk about how important it is for the two largest economies to “manage their relationships responsibly, communicate directly on problem areas and work together to address global challenges.”
Transpacific Irritations
The US Treasury Secretary repeatedly expressed reservations about China and, precisely because of the many differences of opinion, emphasized the need to restore contacts and enter into talks with the new government in China installed by the party leadership in March.
Relations are on the back burner. The tough course of US President Joe Biden (80) against China, the ongoing trade war, China’s support for Russian President Vladimir Putin (70) and its war of aggression against Ukraine, China’s territorial claims in the southern and eastern China Sea and Beijing’s threats to the Democratic Island Republic of Taiwan strained the relationship.
The US president recently caused new annoyance when he compared the Chinese head of state and party leader Xi Jinping (70) to a dictator, which Beijing furiously rejected. (SDA)
