Yellen Bows Repetitively – America Begging China To Buy $850 Billion Debt, But Beijing Has 5 Demands For The U.S.

Americans were stunned – and humiliated – when U.S. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen bowed, not once, but repetitively, when she met Vice Premier He Lifeng during her visit to Beijing last week. Her Chinese counterpart was pleasantly surprised with her gesture that he appeared to backs away to give Yellen more room to “kowtow” and enthusiastically shaking his hand.
Bowing has never been American culture, especially to the Chinese, let alone a high-ranking American official like Yellen. It was a breach of protocol – fellow Americans slammed the 76-year-old treasury secretary as a video clip of the embarrassing moment emerged on social media. Some have even mocked and ridiculed her as if she was ready to kiss the ring of Vice Premier He.
Responding to the criticism of her bowing to China, Yellen insisted that Washington makes certain decisions while keeping national security in mind. Yes, she was sent by President Joe Biden on a secret mission – begging the Chinese to buy at least US$850 billion of American debt papers. It makes sense because U.S. will never bow unless it desperately needs your money, lots of it.
