SAN FRANCISCO, Nov 10 (Reuters) - U.S. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen said on Friday that she agreed with Chinese Vice Premier He Lifeng to "intensify communication" on economic issues but warned him to crack down on Chinese companies that give material support to Russia for its war in Ukraine.
"During our discussions, we agreed that in-depth and frank discussions matter, particularly when we disagree," Yellen said.
"And I emphasized that the current uncertain global landscape makes it particularly crucial that we maintain resilient lines of communication going forward."
"We would like to see China crack down on this, especially when we're able to provide information," Yellen said.
Discussing the Israel-Hamas war, Yellen spoke of the need "to prevent escalation and expansion of the conflict in the Middle East," the Treasury said in a statement.
