For many years, the Chinese currency has been pegged to the U.S. dollar. Critics argue that this policy has resulted in an unfair advantage for Chinese manufacturers exporting product to the U.S., and has contributed to ballooning U.S. trade deficits. Pressure to revalue, including threats of trade sanctions against China, has led the Chinese government to adopt a slightly more flexible policy which pegs the Yuan to a basket of currencies rather than the dollar alone.

Chinese leaders feel that increasing the value of the yuan relative to the dollar would contribute to economic and political instability in China. Details: Pressures for Change China fixed the value of its currency in 1994 to the US currency Due to arguments that the yuan was undervalued and that the Chinese government needed to free the currency, the U.S. administration announced…
