US Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen is scheduled to visit Beijing in early July for high-level economic talks with her Chinese counterpart, marking an important step in US-China relations. The trip, initially postponed, is part of the Biden administration’s efforts to engage with China while prioritizing national security and shared values. The White House has briefed G7 allies on its approach, receiving broad endorsement. Yellen emphasized that US policies towards China aim to safeguard national security and values, rather than seek economic advantage.
