Mrs Janet Yellen's calendar during her four-day visit to Beijing was filled with margins. During her stay in the capital of China, the U.S. Treasury Secretary met with Prime Minister Li Qiang, Deputy Prime Minister in charge of the economy of He Li Feng, Finance Minister Liu Kun, Vice president of the People's Bank of China and at the same time Secretary of organization Organization at this institution Mr Gong Sheng.
Janet Yellen did not meet with president Xi Jin Ping, but during another meetings she was happy to quote Xi's words spoken during his gathering with Secretary of State Antony Blinken, which occurred 3 weeks earlier.
During her visit to China, Janet Yellen met with representatives of American business in China, as well as Chinese experts, entrepreneurs, administrative staff.
I was peculiarly curious in 1 of these meetings, namely dinner with Chinese economical experts, as presented in the Western media. The subject of the discussion was to increase the function and voice of women in finance, the economy of individual countries, as well as the interstate arena.
From a Chinese perspective, he could have intrigued the age of experts invited to this meeting. Looking at the pictures documenting this event, it is easy to announcement that the ladies sitting at the table with Janet Yellen are very, very young. American media presented the thing as dinner with influential experts. possibly in the West a individual about 30 years old may be considered an expert. Not in China.
And sex has nothing to do with it. An expert in Chinese realities must simply have an experience that is hard for people who have barely completed their academic education.
Another reflection related to Janet Yellen's gathering with Chinese economists was given me Chinese social media. According to contemporary custom, the experts shared with the planet the pictures of dishes served at that dinner.
Dinner was organized at the ChangAn Yi restaurant located at the five-star Beijing Grand Hyatt Oriental Hotel. The dishes were served by cook Jin Qianga, who has worked in the profession for over 30 years, and in this peculiar restaurant of the 1920s. Jin Qiang is considered 1 of the best cooks in the capital.
What dishes were served?
The head of the fish is hot in peppers at the price of 850 RMB (about 472 PLN).
Peking duck for 380 RMB (approx. PLN 212),
Black caviar 10gr. for 135 RMB (approx. 75 PLN),
Fried beans with dried vegetables for 80 RMB (approx. 45 PLN),
Chicken with nuts 98 RMB (approx. 55 PLN),
Tofu on sharp 88 RMB (approx. 49 PLN),
Roasted bacon in cubes 100 RMB (approx. 56 PLN),
Roasted eggplants with garlic 78 RMB (approx. 43 PLN),
Pig meat dumplings 80 RMB (approx. 45 PLN).
All with cold drinks and wine cost the U.S. Treasury nearly 1,800 RMB (about PLN 1,000).
As in many restaurants of this class, the minimum value of the order per individual applies. In ChangAn Yi this minimum is 362 RMB (about 200 PLN). Therefore, given that 10 people attended the dinner, the bill should be at least 3620 RMB (approx. PLN 1,810). But besides in restaurants like ChangAn Yi there are discounts, discounts and promotions, especially for crucial guests.
ChangAn Yi Restaurant has a rating of 4.4 stars on 5 on Chinese Internet.
And that's most likely why you can eat cheaper here than in the fish fryer by the Polish sea.
