Summary

“I believe there is a desire on both sides to stabilize the relationship” between the U.S. and China, Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen told us at the end of her first trip to Beijing. Kai Ryssdal sat down with Yellen at the American embassy to recap the trip, discuss the balance between national security and economic concerns, and examine her new role as economist-turned-diplomat. Later, we’ll meet up with China correspondent Jennifer Pak about how the country has changed in the past few years, and why state media frames America as in decline.
