US Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen began a four-day visit to China that was expected to focus on easing ties between the world's two largest economies, despite low expectations on both sides
Shortly after arriving in the Chinese capital, Yellen said she was glad to be in Beijing and looked forward to advancing President Joe Biden's goal of deepening communication between the economically linked but increasingly adversarial countries.
Yellen received a low-key welcome from a Chinese finance ministry official and the U.S. envoy to China, Nicholas Burns, as she stepped off a government plane just after a rainstorm brought some relief to an otherwise sweltering Beijing. Yellen will address what the Biden administration characterizes as unfair practices by China, including recent punitive actions against U.S. firms and market access barriers, the official added.
Zhu Feng, a professor of international relations at Nanjing University, told the Global Times newspaper that Yellen's emphasis on national security meant the U.S. was unlikely to stop the "economic and technological suppression" of China. When Chinese ambassador Xie Feng met Yellen in Washington on Monday, he urged the U.S. to "pay great attention" and move to tackle China's main concerns on the economy and trade.
