BEIJING (AP) — U.S. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen has met with Chinese Premier Li Qiang and sent a message of mutual cooperation despite the nations’ differences. After focusing on trade and economic issues for the first two days of her visit, Yellen turned to the broader U.S.-China relationship in Sunday’s meeting with Li, one of China’s top leaders. She told him that in the past year “we have put our bilateral relationship on more stable footing.” She also addressed U.S. concerns about China’s trade relationship with Russia. Yellen is the first Cabinet member to visit since Presidents Joe Biden and Xi Jinping met in California in November.
