Treasury Secretary Janet L. Yellen said on Tuesday that the United States and
Europe needed to work together to push back against China’s excess industrial
capacity, warning that a wave of cheap Chinese exports represents a grave threat
to the global economy.

Ms. Yellen’s remarks, delivered during a speech in Germany, highlighted what is
expected to be a central topic of discussion when the Group of 7 finance
ministers meet in Italy this week.

“China’s industrial policy may seem remote as we sit here in this room, but if
we do not respond strategically and in a united way, the viability of businesses
in both our countries and around the world could be at risk,” Ms. Yellen said at
the Frankfurt School of Finance and Management, where she received an honorary
doctoral degree.

China’s excessive production of green energy technology has become a pressing
trans-Atlantic concern in recent months. Officials in President Biden’s
administration have grown increasingly worried that his efforts to finance
domestic manufacturing of clean energy and other next-generation technologies
will be undercut by China, which is churning out steel, electric cars and solar
panels at a rapid clip.

The Biden administration is now looking to Europe to help the developed world
prevent the kind of China shock of the early 2000s, which helped decimate
manufacturing in exchange for cheap goods. Last week, Mr. Biden increased
tariffs on some Chinese imports, including levying a 100 percent tax on electric
vehicles. He also formally left in place levies on more than $300 billion worth
of Chinese goods that President Donald J. Trump had imposed.

The United States hopes that a united front will convince China that its largest
trading partners are prepared to erect trade barriers that will prevent Chinese
electric vehicles, batteries and panels from dominating Western markets.
