The results of Yellen’s visit to Beijing were limited. Instead, it was a feast for several female economists in China. The sensation almost overwhelmed all her official activities in China. Today’s editorial of the “Global Times” also spoke a few words for the dinner.

U.S. Treasury Secretary Yellen followed Secretary of State Blinken to visit China. Before the departure, Washington made a statement that it had little hope of changing Sino-U.S. relations. In other words, Yellen lost an invisible burden and got off the plane in a better mood I also met the rainbow in Beijing, which added a bit of romance to her——I left gently, just as I came lightly; I waved gently, as the clouds in the western sky. ——Accompanied by Xu Zhimo’s poems, it’s really wonderful.
Yes, the mainstream French newspaper Les Echos summed it up like this: “There are no concessions, no new bilateral agreements, not even a joint statement. But U.S. Treasury Secretary Yellen left Beijing on Sunday feeling a successful recovery. dialogue with the Chinese authorities on many disputed issues.” It is often said that dialogue is better than no dialogue, however, Yellen’s dialogue has made 120 points, drawing a rainbow for her entire trip.
“Voice of America” reported: “76-year-old Yellen is the first female treasury secretary in the history of the United States and the first female chairman of the Federal Reserve. The day before she left China, she had lunch with six outstanding Chinese women in a hotel in Beijing , Discussions were held on China’s economy, how to increase women’s opportunities, including leadership positions.” Taiwan’s current commentators who are closer to the mainland said that Yellen’s soft diplomacy is very dexterous, and it feels very refreshing to contact the people.
Reuters quoted a senior U.S. Treasury official as saying the dinner gave Yellen an opportunity to “interact with people outside the policy structure.” In a brief statement, the Treasury said Yellen emphasized at the lunch that women’s participation in the workforce is one of the key drivers of inclusive growth, especially in helping to ensure economic research and policymaking appropriately reflect Women’s contributions to economics are important in terms of society’s priorities.
However, the “fly in the ointment” is that mainland netizens have objections to the female economist who attended Yellen’s dinner. “Voice of America” stated: “This seemingly ordinary lunch meeting turned out to be an event that triggered discussions on the Chinese Internet. A large number of 50-cent netizens labeled it and lashed out, saying, “Anyone who goes there must default to being a pro-American faction.” , is the “Officially Certified Anti-Thief of the United States”.”
Mainland public opinion can be forgiven for their dissatisfaction with Yellen. Netizen posts of “Foolish Uncle Watching Life” are very vigilant, pointing out the face behind Yellen’s kindness. “U.S. Treasury Secretary Yellen has left, and she summed it up in one sentence: High technology must be blocked, and traditional trade must be liberalized! Americans’ expressions are very convoluted; the general meaning is: business must be done, and those involving national security must be sanctioned. The Chinese market Be open, don’t set up barriers, don’t confront, communicate.”
Since there is no intention of repairing Sino-US relations, but the so-called envoy who only curves to tell the United States not to give up its hegemony, suddenly communicates eagerly with our elites, which cannot but be said to be strange. “Global Times” responded to Yellen’s dinner: “When an official of a country visits abroad, he arranges to have dinner with some locals. As a kind of public diplomacy, this is relatively common and understandable. But American officials often use this form to treat other people. Intervention and interference in the internal affairs of the country is unavoidable.” Let Yellen’s behavior be more straightforward: “It is said that Yellen took out a speech before eating, according to the speech published afterwards , Yellen said that the United States has differences with the Chinese government, but this is not a disagreement with the Chinese people, and it is obviously intended to sow discord.” In short, Yellen intends to openly win over celebrities with close to American ideas, so as to influence future views on China. A review of US relations.
Yellen’s move is like a feather fan, sitting in the dinner group laughing, laughing at our lack of cognitive defense. what to do? I said that China now has Chinese-style modernization theories, and more of them are put forward to highlight our progress. Compared with the imbalance of neoliberalism and disordered capitalism, this is beneficial and constructive; there is no cultural quality, only personal subjectivity, Bababa’s booing, it is easy to be accused of being nationalists.
