U.S. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen will visit China later this week for meetings with senior officials to discuss a range of issues, with the world¡¯s two biggest economies looking to ¡°responsibly manage¡± their increasingly fraught relationship.
Yellen will use the four-day visit from Thursday to stress the importance of communicating ¡°directly about areas of concern,¡± while working together with China ¡°to address global challenges,¡± the Treasury Department said in a statement Sunday.
China¡¯s Finance Ministry also confirmed Yellen¡¯s trip, which will make her the second Cabinet-level U.S. official to visit the Chinese capital since U.S. President Joe Biden took office in January 2021.
