Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen will meet later this week with her Chinese counterparts to talk about major financial issues, making her the second top White House official to travel to the US’ great rival in a matter of weeks.

Yellen’s Thursday-Sunday visit is meant to address “areas of concern” in the relationship between the world’s two largest economies as part of President Biden’s government-wide effort to re-engage with China and its president, Xi Jinping, the Treasury Department announced over the weekend.

The visit of Yellen, 76, will hopefully “deepen and increase the frequency of communication between our countries moving forward and to stabilize the relationship, avoid miscommunication, and expand collaboration where we can,” a senior administration official told CNBC.

I wonder if the “areas of concern” will include DEI and “climate change”.

She’s the Treasury secretary. She’s not supposed to be discussing climate change. Or anything else for that matter.

Would it be too much to ask for China to detain them?

They’re probably picking up their 5 percent for the little guys, and will be bringing the Big Guy his 10 percent.

Second visit within a short timespan.

We’re probably safe assuming that whatever they say the meeting is about.....it isn’t. That’s just some happy bulls*** they cook up for us peons.

The real reason could be laying more groundwork for the coming global digital currency.

She’s probably getting some tips from the CCP and WeChat.
