CandyKisses: The US Treasury Secretary calls on China to abandon its economic policy
US Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen called on China to abandon its “unfair directed economic policy.” Because it discourages investors and punishes the Chinese economy and American companies alike.
Yellen said in a speech before the US-China Business Council in Washington on the occasion of its 50th anniversary that “For too long, American workers and American companies have not been able to compete on equal terms with their counterparts in China".
She added that if “Beijing moves away from its directed economic approach in the areas of industry and finance, it will be better for China.” It will also be beneficial for American companies.
She stressed that “a very important role for public companies could stifle growth, and an excessive role for security services could hinder investments” .
