Janet Yellen's China Outreach: Mixed Results and Political Consequences

Janet Yellen's diplomatic outreach in China, which included two meals with Chinese officials, has yielded mixed results. While the US Treasury Secretary's visit aimed to improve economic cooperation and ease tensions between the two countries, it highlighted the challenges faced in the US-China relationship. Despite discussions on climate change and financial regulations, no major breakthroughs were achieved, and issues such as trade disputes and human rights concerns remained unresolved. The outcome underscores the complex nature of US-China relations and the difficulties in finding common ground.
