Yellen, who is planning her second trip to China as Treasury secretary, said Wednesday in Georgia that she will convey her belief to her Chinese counterparts that Beijing’s increased production of green energy also poses risks “to productivity and growth in the Chinese economy.”

U.S. Trade Representative Katherine Tai said in response to the complaint that the U.S. subsidies are a “contribution to a clean energy future” while China “continues to use unfair, non-market policies and practices to undermine fair competition.”

Did they forget what globalization means? Globalization means that other countries open their economy completely to U.S. companies while the U.S. grants import quotas (at best) for other countries (as long as they behave nice).

And what does this actually mean:

“I will press my Chinese counterparts to take necessary steps to address this issue.”
