In a conversation with China&#8217;s Vice Premier He Lifeng, Yellen emphasized the importance of communication in the face of a complex global economic outlook. The meeting, part of Yellen&#8217;s trip to Beijing, aims to improve bilateral ties, although critics argue that she lacks a position of strength in engaging with Chinese officials.<\/p>\n<p>The Treasury Department described the conversation as &#8220;candid, constructive, and comprehensive,&#8221; while China&#8217;s state media called it &#8220;in-depth, frank, and pragmatic.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>During the meeting, Yellen discussed the Biden administration&#8217;s approach to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/xi-jinping-issues-disturbing-orders-as-top-us-official-lands-in-mainland\/\" title=\"Xi Jinping gives alarming directives as senior US official arrives in mainland.\">healthy economic competition<\/a> with China, emphasizing the need for a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/brexit-trade-deal-published-as-uk-calls-for-end-to-ugly-divisions\/\" title=\"Brexit trade deal published as UK calls for end to \u2018ugly\u2019 divisions\">level playing field<\/a> for American workers and businesses.

She expressed her belief that both countries can engage in uncontroversial economic interactions, citing the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/yellen-says-direct-communication-can-resolve-us-china-trade-woes\/\" title=\"Yellen: Talking can fix US-China trade issues.\">record-breaking bilateral trade<\/a> in 2022 as evidence.<\/p>\n<p>The talks took place amidst a downward spiral in U.S.-China relations, with recent incidents further straining the ties. However, both sides expressed a willingness to continue communication and interaction.<\/p>\n<h3>Climate Change and Cooperation<\/h3>\n<p>Prior to her meeting with Vice Premier He, Yellen stressed the importance of collaboration between China and the United States in addressing climate change. She highlighted the need for continued cooperation, citing the successful bilateral cooperation in the 2015 Paris Agreement.<\/p>\n<p>Yellen also called for efficient and effective climate finance, suggesting that China&#8217;s support for existing multilateral climate institutions could have a greater impact. She looked forward to hearing recommendations from working groups, including the Sustainable Finance Working Group, at the upcoming G20 summit.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_5382296\" style=\"width: 600px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\">\n    <a href=\"https:\/\/img.theepochtimes.com\/assets\/uploads\/2023\/07\/08\/id5382296-GettyImages-1513211687-1200x800.jpg\"><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><noscript><\/noscript><\/figcaption><\/a><br \/>\n    Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen (2nd R) speaks at a climate finance roundtable discussion at the U.S. Embassy in Beijing on July 8, 2023.
