Yellen stated that the US does not seek to decouple its economy from China's but will take unilateral action against Chinese firms involved in such activities.

Rise in Southeast Asian Firms Eyeing U.S. IPOs as China Peers Retreat

This follows recent plans by Vietnamese internet company VNG Corp and Philippine real estate company DoubleDragon Corp's Hotel101 Global to list in the U.S. Chinese firms have paused U.S. IPOs due to political tensions with Washington, increased scrutiny from Beijing, and a slowing Chinese economy. Southeast Asian firms are expected to raise between $300 million and $1 billion, with valuations ranging from $1.5 billion to $8 billion.
