Yellen Bows in Beijing Giving China the Optics They Crave

DM-

Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen raised eyebrows when she held a meeting with China’s vice premier and bowed multiple times on greeting him. Yellen, who served as chair of the Federal Reserve before becoming Joe Biden’s top financial official, wrapped up her first visit to China as treasury secretary on Sunday. Both Washington and Beijing said the meetings during her four-day trip were fruitful, although the visit – designed to help smooth a rocky relationship – did not generate any concrete agreements. Her visit came as the U.S. on June 30 warned its citizens against traveling to China, citing the risk of arbitrary detention.  On Saturday, Yellen met Vice Premier He Lifeng, and bowed effusively on meeting the top Chinese official. Beijing’s official Xinhua news agency said the meeting yielded an agreement to ‘strengthen communication and cooperation on addressing global challenges’. Yellen said Sunday told a press conference that her talks with top Chinese officials have helped put ties on ‘surer footing’.

  1. Those Chinese people must pay a good wage.

    Depends on what side of the fence you look at it from.
    If you have democRAT political position and you’ll sell yourself for a drink and a pack of cigs, it’s a boon market that’s raining money! On the other hand, the Chinese consider it as the biggest, cheapest hostile take-over that the world has ever witnessed and Jackass Joe and his collection of stooges are the biggest traitors in the history of this nation!

  3. Looks like she’s getting up from a squatting position. Xi signals someone on the side, then the announcment: “Attention Proletarian Worker Ants – Cleanup in Foyer – Get on it Now or face most serious consequences”.

    Americans kowtowing to foreign dictators is very sad.
