During her discussions with G7 finance ministers, Yellen highlighted the widespread concern over China's efforts to dominate clean energy industries. She stressed the importance of a group response to China's policies, which could otherwise jeopardize the viability of critical industries in the West. "China's industrial policy may seem remote, but the viability of businesses in both our countries and around the world could be at risk if we do not respond strategically and in a united way," Yellen stated.
This call for unity comes in the wake of the Biden administration’s recent implementation of steep tariffs on Chinese goods. These measures aim to curb the flood of cheap exports from China, which significantly exceed global demand and undermine fair competition.
Yellen's comments were part of broader discussions on protecting U.S. and European firms from unfair economic practices and supporting the development of clean energy industries globally, not just within China. She asserted that actions like these are essential not only for economic balance but also for fostering healthy technological and manufacturing sectors worldwide.
