Saturday, bowing to her Chinese counterpart multiple times without reciprocation — a protocol error that critics flagged as a sign of American weakness.
“Never, ever, ever,” Bradley Blakeman, a senior staffer in George W. Bush’s White House, told The Post. “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.” Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen and Vice Premier He Lifeng, China’s new economy czar, met Saturday in Beijing.“I strongly believe that the relationship between our two countries is rooted in the solid ties between the American and Chinese people,” Yellen said in her brief initial statement, running a finger along her lines as she spoke.“It is important that we keep nurturing and deepening these ties.
“We have a duty to both our own countries and to other countries to cooperate” on environmental issues, she said.
