US Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen held five hours of talks with Chinese Vice Premier He Lifeng in Beijing, the first in-depth exchange between the nations’ top economic policymakers as they seek to dial back strains in the relationship.
The meeting on Saturday capped Yellen’s engagements on her first visit to China as Treasury chief, a trip she described as a mission to revive engagement between the two largest economies that’s deteriorated in recent years while friction has soared over issues from Taiwan to technology access.
