Yellen, who concludes her four-day visit to China today, stresses the need for more exchanges and cooperation, even if deep divisions remain between the two countries. “We believe the world is big enough for both of our countries to thrive,” she told reporters Sunday at the US embassy in Beijing.
The minister believes that nations have a duty to “manage their relationships responsibly: find a way to live together and share global prosperity”. While there are “significant differences of opinion” between the two countries, he says the talks have been “direct, substantive and productive”.

Yellen’s visit aims to improve relations between the two countries. Recently, your American colleague from Foreign Affairs, Antony Blinken, has also been to China with the same goal. China and the US have been at loggerheads for years over human rights, Taiwan and trade, among other things.
