President Joe Biden’s Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen reverently welcomed Chinese President Xi Jinping by applauding his arrival at the San Francisco Airport on Tuesday. Yellen’s display of veneration appears to confirm White House critics who believe the Biden administration consistently kowtows to China. The incident occurred as Xi slowly walked down the airstairs to meet Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) Tuesday afternoon, footage posted on X by the Republican National Committee’s War Room revealed. As he did so, the video pans to capture Yellen clapping Xi’s descent, while individuals who appeared to be of Asian ancestry clapped next to her.
