On September 9, according to a report by Reuters on September 7, US Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen said on the 7th that she may meet with Chinese officials again soon. Asked at the Texas Forum Festival in Austin, Texas, whether she would be "done" when the new government takes over in January next year, whether she might continue in that role, or take on a new role in the new government, Yellen said: "It might be done, but... we'll see." According to the report, Yellen said at the event that she still has a lot of work to do in the coming months, including the possibility of another meeting with Chinese officials to try to manage the often tense relationship between the two countries. Ms Yellen said the US-China relationship "needs to be prioritised and nurtured" by the next administration, with discussions taking place at the highest levels and between staff across the agencies. "We have so many differences and without the opportunity to discuss them and put them in context, there is definitely a risk that tensions will rise," she said. "So it does require sustained attention," she said.
