On Saturday, US Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen announced that she and Chinese Vice Premier He Lifeng had agreed to initiate discussions regarding achieving balanced growth in domestic and global economies. She noted that this initiative intends to address American apprehensions regarding China's surplus manufacturing capacity.

Following two days of economic discussions held in Guangzhou, China's prominent export hub, Yellen stated that she and He agreed to establish a forum to collaborate on anti-money laundering initiatives within their respective financial systems.

Yellen commented in a statement released after the talks that these exchanges "will facilitate a discussion around macroeconomic imbalances, including their connection to overcapacity, and I intend to use the opportunity to advocate for a level playing field for American workers and firms."

She described the discussions as productive and candid. Before her four-day visit to China, her primary focus was to persuade Chinese officials to address the issue of excess production capacity, particularly in electric vehicles, solar panels, and other clean energy technologies, which threaten competing firms in the US and other nations.

In an editorial released late on Friday, state news agency Xinhua criticized such remarks, asserting that they aim to undermine China's domestic development and international collaboration. Xinhua suggested that Washington should prioritize fostering innovation and competitiveness within its borders, instead of "fear-mongering."

Yellen, He Lifeng, and their respective teams engaged in meetings totaling over four and a half hours on Saturday, covering a spectrum of economic issues. The Treasury chief's primary focus was addressing US concerns regarding China's increasing exports of electric vehicles, solar panels, and other commodities.

Yellen is expected to address reporters later today.

Yellen said the discussion was frank and substantialm marking her third in-person meeting with He Lifeng in under a year.

"I opened meetings with Vice Premier He Lifeng for frank and substantive conversations on our bilateral economic relationship. It is crucial that the two largest economies in the world seek progress on global challenges and closely communicate on areas of concern," she said on social media.
