<p>Treasury Secretary <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/janet-yellen">Janet Yellen</a> is facing criticism for bowing repeatedly to a <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/china">Chinese</a> official during a visit to Beijing on Saturday.</p>
<p>Video <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=20d4DtvIMtk">published by Reuters</a> shows Yellen smiling and while giving a slight bow three times as she shook hands with Chinese Vice Premier He Lifeng, who did not bow during the seconds-long clip.</p>
<p>“Never, ever, ever,” Bradley Blakeman, a top White House aide to President George W. Bush, <a href="https://nypost.com/2023/07/08/us-treasury-secretary-janet-yellen-commits-embarrassing-bow-during-beijing-visit/?utm_source=twitter&amp;utm_medium=social&amp;utm_campaign=nypost">told The New York Post</a> in response to the exchange. “An American official does not bow. It looks like she’s been summoned to the principal’s office, and that’s exactly the optics the Chinese love.”</p>

<p>The publication also reported Jerome Cohen, an emeritus professor at New York University and expert in Chinese law and government, said, “Bowing is not part of the accepted protocol.&#8221;</p>
<p>While some argued the display was not a big deal, others reacted with disgust on social media as the video of Yellen bowing was shared by various accounts, including one for the Republican National Committee.</p>
<p>&#8220;I can’t stand this woman,&#8221; <a href="https://twitter.com/MarinaMedvin/status/1677848685386821635">tweeted</a> defense attorney Marina Melvin. &#8220;BTW she’s bowing to him because she genuinely wants to. It’s natural for her. She’s an obsequious commie lover.&#8221;</p>
<p>Grabien founder Tom Elliott <a href="https://twitter.com/tomselliott/status/1677835387559895040">said</a>, &#8220;Her bowing is an embarrassment to every non-communist American.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;How many times does she think she has to bow?&#8221; <a href="https://twitter.com/mirandadevine/status/1677834119462416385">asked</a> New York Post columnist Miranda Devine, who added a &#8220;grimacing face&#8221; emoji.</p>

<p>Yellen had an introductory meeting with He to &#8220;build on&#8221; U.S. President Joe Biden and Chinese leader Xi Jinping&#8217;s &#8220;guidance to deepen engagement between key senior officials on macroeconomic issues,&#8221; <a href="https://home.treasury.gov/news/press-releases/jy1601">said</a> a readout from the Treasury Department.</p>
<p>&#8220;The meeting was candid, constructive, and comprehensive,&#8221; the readout added. &#8220;While raising issues of concern, Secretary Yellen discussed the Administration’s approach to seek healthy economic competition with China, with a level playing field for American workers and businesses. They also exchanged views on global and domestic macroeconomic outlooks.&#8221;</p>
<p>The readout continued, &#8220;Secretary Yellen also conveyed that even when the United States and China have disagreements, it is vital that the two countries find ways to work together on issues of shared – and global – concern, including debt distress in low-income and emerging economies and climate finance.&#8221;</p>
<p><a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2023/07/08/yellen-beijing-meeting-he-lifeng/">According to The Washington Post</a>, Yellen flubbed He&#8217;s name, calling him &#8220;Vice Premier Hu,&#8221; as they spoke about shoring up ties between their respective nations during a <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/u-s-cheers-candid-talks-with-china-after-months-of-rising-tensions">time of rising tensions</a>.</p>
