美国财政部长珍妮特·耶伦将在旧金山接待中华人民共和国副总理何立峰并举行双边会晤

2023年11月6日

华盛顿——美国财政部长珍妮特·耶伦（Janet L. Yellen）将于11月9日至10日在加利福尼亚州旧金山接待中华人民共和国副总理何立峰并举行为期两天的双边会议。此次会晤正值美国和中国开展更加密集的外交活动之际，旨在进一步稳定双边经济关系，并在关键经济问题上取得进展。耶伦财长与何副总理的会晤将在耶伦财长主持召开旧金山亚太经合组织财政部长会议的前夕举行。上周，耶伦财长概述了拜登政府对印太地区的经济方针，包括我们为深化整个地区的贸易和投资联系、发展更具韧性的供应链和应对全球挑战所做的努力。

去年11月，拜登总统在与习主席会晤后向美国政府下达了指示，此后，耶伦财长在深化两国之间富有韧性的经济沟通渠道方面取得了重大进展，此次与何副总理的会晤是这些进展的跟进。此前的进展包括耶伦财长7月对北京的访问，以及随后于9月启动的直接向耶伦财长和何副总理汇报的双边经济与金融工作组。在整个过程中，耶伦财长通过与中国财政金融部门的深入交流，更好地为美国决策、了解全球经济提供信息，并推动取得有利于美国和全球经济的成果。

耶伦财长对此次会谈的方针将专注于拜登政府处理与中国双边经济关系的三大支柱上，她在4月份的讲话中阐述了这一点。正如耶伦财长所概述的那样，我们寻求对双方都有利的良性经济竞争，但这种良性竞争需要为美国劳动者和企业提供公平的竞争环境。我们将采取有针对性的行动来促进我们和盟友的国家安全，并保护人权，但我们不会利用这些工具来寻求经济优势。最后，我们寻求在气候变化等全球挑战方面开展合作，并寻找我们作为世界最大的两个经济体共同努力的方式，使全球经济更加稳固。 

会议结束后，耶伦财长将于11月10日在旧金山举行新闻发布会。有意报道新闻发布会和会议的媒体请联系[email protected]。 

有关耶伦财长双边会谈的更多细节将在晚些时候公布。

Secretary of the Treasury Janet L. Yellen to Host PRC Vice Premier He Lifeng for Bilateral Meetings in San Francisco

November 6, 2023

WASHINGTON – Secretary of the Treasury Janet L. Yellen will host People’s Republic of China (PRC)Vice Premier He Lifeng for two days of bilateral meetings on November 9 and 10 in San Francisco, California. These meetings come at a time of more intensive diplomacy between the United States and the PRC designed to further stabilize the bilateral economic relationship and make progress on key economic issues. Secretary Yellen’s meetings with Vice Premier He will be held immediately before Secretary Yellen hosts the APEC Finance Ministers Meeting in San Francisco. Last week, Secretary Yellen outlined the Biden Administration’s economic approach towards the Indo-Pacific, including our efforts to deepen trade and investment ties across the region, develop more resilient supply chains, and address global challenges. 

The meetings with Vice Premier He follow on the significant strides Secretary Yellen has made in deepening resilient channels of economic communication between our two countries, after President Biden’s directive to his Administration following his meeting with President Xi last November. That includes Secretary Yellen’s visit to Beijing in July and the subsequent launch of bilateral Economic and Financial Working Groups, which report directly to Secretary Yellen and Vice Premier He, in September. Throughout, Secretary Yellen has used deeper communication with Chinese counterparts to better inform U.S. decision making and understanding of the global economy and drive towards outcomes that benefit the American and global economy. 

Secretary Yellen’s approach to these meetings will center on the three pillars of the Biden Administration’s approach to our bilateral economic relationship with China that she laid out in her remarks in April. As Secretary Yellen outlined, we seek a healthy economic competition that benefits both sides, but that healthy competition requires a level playing field for American workers and firms. We will take targeted action to advance our national security and that of our allies, and protect human rights, but we do not use these tools to seek economic advantage. Lastly, we seek to cooperate on global challenges like climate change and look for ways that we can work together as the world’s two largest economies to put the global economy on surer footing.   

At the conclusion of the meetings, Secretary Yellen will host a press conference in San Francisco on November 10. Media interested in covering the press conference and meetings should contact [email protected]. 

Additional details of Secretary Yellen’s bilateral engagements will be announced at a later date.
