Yellen Hopes to Travel to China to 'Reestablish Contact'
Channel News Asia ^ | 29 Jun 2023

US Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen said she hopes to travel to China to reestablish contact with Beijing, acknowledging there were disagreements between the two countries, MSNBC on Wednesday (Jun 28) reported her saying during an interview.

There are heightened tensions and pessimism in the US-China relationship over national security issues, including Taiwan, Russia's war in Ukraine, growing US export bans on advanced technologies and China's state-led industrial policies.

"My hope in travelling to China is to reestablish contact. There are a new group of leaders, we need to get to know one another," Yellen was quoted as saying by MSNBC.

No one in any country respects anyone in the Biden clown show.

We keep those idiots in D.C. at our own peril.

Since Blinken’s a failure (as if she’s going to do better with the Chinese...).

Virtue Signaling.

China is drawing its line in the sand “Lift Sanctions”.

He told Yellen about the great Chinese food there, so she had to go.

Give will agree to allow China in the drivers seat and we keep out of it. They have to protect the Democrat Party at all cost!

Why does she have to travel all the way to China? She can just talk into her hacked ChiCom cell phone.

“Didn’t Blinken just go there?”

Apparently he didn’t grovel enough.

My question, precisely.

SOS does this, n'est ce pas?

And what on earth does she mean by "reestablish contact"?

"And we need to discuss our disagreements with one another so that we don't have misunderstandings, don't misunderstand one another's intentions."

I'm no expert, but this seems remarkably weak.

Blinken probably picked up his bag of money, so Yellen wants some too.

Once everyone saw how easily Biden shook them down for a bundle, everyone wants in on it.
