Treasury Secretary Calls Trip to China ‘Constructive’ in the Midst of U.S. Tensions

Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen called a visit to China “constructive” despite heightened tensions between Washington and Beijing.

“What I can tell you is that I had a very constructive visit. I received a warm welcome, and had [a] very substantive series of meetings,” Yellen said on CBS News’s “Face the Nation” in response to a question from moderator Margaret Brennan about whether “tension has been smoothed over” after the Chinese spy balloon incident earlier this year.

Yellen said she had “around 10 hours of meetings” with Chinese Premier Li Qiang, Vice Premier He Lifeng, finance minister Liu Kun and the People’s Bank of China (PBOC) head Pan Gongsheng.
