US, China Forge Talks on Balanced Growth Amid Overcapacity Concerns
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

US Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen announced on Saturday a new initiative with Chinese Vice Premier He Lifeng to discuss balanced economic growth, addressing US worries over China’s excess manufacturing capacity. This effort emerged from two days of intense economic discussions in Guangzhou, a vital export hub in southern China.

Yellen highlighted the formation of this dialogue as a platform to address macroeconomic imbalances, particularly the issue of overcapacity. She expressed her intention to advocate for fair competition for American workers and businesses within this framework.

The talks, marked by productivity and candor, aimed to tackle pressing issues, with the United States primarily focusing on China’s expanding exports in electric vehicles (EVs), solar panels, and clean energy technologies. Yellen’s visit underscored a pivotal objective: persuading Chinese authorities to curtail excess production in these sectors, which threatens competitors globally.

However, Chinese state media rebutted Yellen’s assertions on overcapacity, labeling them as a pretext for protectionist US policies. They argued that such rhetoric undermines China’s economic growth and international cooperation efforts.

The discussions, which spanned over four and a half hours, concentrated on various topics, with the excess capacity dilemma dominating the agenda. Yellen emphasized the gravity of this issue, stressing its potential adverse effects on American firms and other nations’ economies.

The newly established forum will provide a structured platform for addressing this complex issue, albeit Yellen acknowledged that resolving it would require time and effort.

Despite these tensions, both sides recognized the importance of ongoing discussions on balanced growth and financial stability. Beijing conveyed its apprehensions regarding US economic and trade restrictions on China, underscoring the need for a comprehensive dialogue.

Yellen’s visit to China also touched on geopolitical issues, notably Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. She warned Chinese firms against providing support to Russia, emphasizing potential repercussions. In response, Chinese officials reiterated their policy against supporting the invasion, aiming to avoid escalating tensions between the two nations.

While the talks have not led to immediate breakthroughs, they represent a critical step in addressing economic frictions between the US and China. Yellen’s visit underscores the importance of strengthening bilateral ties to navigate global challenges effectively.

In subsequent meetings in Beijing, Yellen will engage with key officials to further discuss economic cooperation and address shared concerns. The outcome of these discussions could shape the future trajectory of US-China relations, impacting global economic stability and trade dynamics.
