Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen is visiting China this week to discuss the implications of recent laws passed by China on U.S. citizens and businesses, with the aim of improving the relationship between the two countries. These laws include a counterespionage law, a Foreign Relations Law, and the sentencing of a U.S. citizen to life in prison on spying charges. Yellen's visit is expected to focus on the importance of the two countries to global economic stability.
