BEIJING — U.S. Treasury Secretary Timothy Geith ner held hastily arranged talks Sunday with a top Chinese finance official amid currency tensions.
The governments said Geith ner and Vice Premier Wang Qishan exchanged views on U.S.-Chinese economic relations in Qingdao but no details were released. They said the two also discussed preparations for a Nov. 11-12 meeting of leaders of the Group of 20 major economies.
Beijing faces mounting pressure from U.S. lawmakers to ease controls they say hold down its yuan currency, boosting China’s trade surplus and costing American jobs.
