Janet Yellen arrives in Beijing on mission to find common ground for U.S. and China

Source: CNBC

Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen landed in Beijing Thursday on a four-day trip aimed at finding common ground as rivalry between the U.S. and China becomes increasingly adversarial.

Yellen’s trip marks a deepening thaw in ties between the U.S. and China and comes weeks after Secretary of State Antony Blinken’s visit to Beijing in last month, which was the first high-level meeting between the two countries after months of tensions.

“The two sides are basically talking, trying to find the strategic space for both sides to operate, and this will be very good for the rest of the world,” Andrew Sheng, a distinguished fellow at the University of Hong Kong’s Asia Global Institute, told CNBC Thursday.

Yellen’s trip comes just days after China abruptly imposed export curbs on chipmaking metals and its compounds, escalating Beijing’s technological war with the U.S. and Europe. Before departing for China, Yellen had a “frank and productive discussion” with Xie Feng, the Chinese U.S. ambassador, according to the U.S. Treasury.

between the worlds most powerful nations. He Western media really should drop its Evil Empire reruns. It’s getting old.

And since Russia is proven not worth Cold War status, let’s divvy up a peace dividend and take a slice of pie from the pentagon trillion a year!

For 4 years America elected and was led by a moronic serial liar don’t forget.
