US Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen said the meetings with Chinese officials in recent days were direct and productive, which helped stabilize the strained relationship between the two countries.
Before leaving China on Sunday, Yelin said the United States and China remain at odds on a number of issues.
“The United States and China have significant differences,” Yellen told a news conference at the US Embassy in Beijing, citing Washington’s concerns about what she called “unfair economic practices” and recent punitive measures against US companies.
Washington is trying to mend relations between the two largest economies in the world amid a decline in relations between the United States and China due to national security issues.
