WASHINGTON, April 13 (Reuters) - U.S. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen on Wednesday appealed to China to take action to help end Russia's war in Ukraine, warning in a landmark speech that Beijing's standing in the world would suffer if it fails to do so.

In remarks prepared for delivery at the Atlantic Council in Washington, Yellen said she "fervently" hoped that China would make something positive out of its "special relationship" with Russia and help end the war.

First, China is laughing at Yellen & Demented Joe. Second, this is an indication of how desperate the Washington Soy Boys are for peace. With the Russian Ruble now worth more *AFTER THE SANCTIONS* AND THE US DOLLAR LOSING 8.5% JUST YESTERDAY, Biden and his idiot war mongers have demonstrated that everything they touch turns to bird siht on Biden's lapel.

Every time these Biden criminals try to punish others for any reason, America ends up with a larger punishment.

We need this admin disappear before we do.

Have the European countries actually cut off the flow of Russian oil/gas?? Or have only said they plan to???? I I have read articles saying each way.

[TomGuy]

Vague threats. “... your words are vain and wordly. They are as sounding brass and tinkling cymbals, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.”

Have the European countries actually cut off the flow of Russian oil/gas??

No. Germany put a date in the future on stopping it, but it's still flowing.

Every time these Biden criminals try to punish others for any reason, America ends up with a larger punishment.

The reverse Midas touch.

The CCP has locked down a city of 24M (shaghai) and the citizens are starving. And Janet Yellen things they will bend to a few economic sanctions?

[hardspunned]

Wait until the DC junta embargoes Chinese pharmaceuticals. Not only will the American consumer suffer the consequences of Russian regime change sanctions on gas and food, now we can suffer and die for the New World Order’s Chinese ambitions.

I don’t think they can even if they wanted to do so. Where else would they get it? It isn’t like America can export energy anymore.

[throwthebumsout]

China owns over $1 Trillion in U.S. Treasury bonds, and is the largest purchaser of them. People freaked out when Elon purchased 10% of Twitter, yet they aren’t concerned about China.

I know! I know! Let’s impose some sanctions on China and see if we can get Lithium up 20x instead of the mere 9x it’s sitting at.

[JonPreston]

And Janet Yellen thinks they will bend to a few economic sanctions?

She is a prime example of why the left should never hold public office. A special thanks to Never Trumpers and Biden Republicans for getting US into this mess.

[rbmillerjr]

China only owns 7.5 percent of US Treasury Bonds.

Not a big deal.

[PGR88]

Now the Treasury Secretary is conducting foreign policy

Its a full-court neocon press.

Like what? China owns us.
