US Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen will make her much-anticipated visit to China on Thursday. This is being done to reduce tension between the two countries. Last month, US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken also went on a two-day visit to China. Meanwhile, both the countries talked about continuing the dialogue. Chinese President also met Blinken.
Yellen will be in China until July 9
Yellen will be in China until July 9. Meanwhile, he will meet Chinese officials and representatives of American companies doing business in China. In his visit, emphasis will be placed on enhancing communication between the two countries. Issues of common interest will also be discussed.
The US Treasury Secretary’s visit to China is significant in many ways
The US Treasury Secretary’s visit will focus on the stability of the global economy and China’s support for Russia in the Ukraine war. Yellen’s visit comes as Biden is considering issuing an executive order that would tighten rules on certain foreign investments by US companies. It is being built to limit China’s ability to acquire technologies that could enhance its military power.
The US asked citizens to consider traveling to China
The United States has advised citizens to reconsider travel to China due to the risk of arbitrary law enforcement, exit restrictions and wrongful detention. This advisory also applies to citizens traveling to Hong Kong and Macau. While no case precedent was cited in the advisory, it was issued after a 78-year-old US citizen was sentenced to life in prison in China in May on espionage charges.
What was said in the advisory?
The advisory states that the Chinese government applies domestic laws arbitrarily, including issuing departure bans to US citizens and nationals of other countries without fair and transparent process under the law.
