Chinese premier meets U.S. treasury secretary in Beijing

Chinese Premier Li Qiang expressed hope that the United States and China can be partners at the start of a bilateral meeting with US Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen in Beijing on Sunday. He added that Chinese internet users have closely followed the details of her trip since her appearance in Guangzhou, showing expectation and hope for the China-US relationship to continue to improve.

Both sides have since agreed to discuss issues such as balanced growth of the U.S., China, and the global economy, financial stability and sustainable finance, and cooperation in countering money laundering under the China-U.S. economic and financial working group. The meeting comes at a pivotal moment that underscores the deep economic interconnections between the world's two largest economies.
