relationship over national security issues, including Taiwan,
Russia's war in Ukraine, growing U.S. export bans on advanced
technologies and China's state-led industrial policies.
"My hope in traveling to China is to reestablish contact. There
are a new group of leaders, we need to get to know one another,"
Yellen was quoted as saying by MSNBC.
"And we need to discuss our disagreements with one another so
that we don't have misunderstandings, don't misunderstand one
another's intentions."
The U.S. is, and will, take actions to protect its national
security interests even if it "imposes some economic costs on
us," she told MSNBC.
Yellen did not detail a specific timing for any visit to China.
She plans to be there in early July for the first high-level
economic talks with her new Chinese counterpart, Bloomberg
reported earlier this week.
