Will a change in the exchange rate that subsequently increases the price of U.S. goods relative to foreign goods lead to a change in the quantity demanded of Real GDP or to a change in Aggregate Demand

An expected decline in demand for consumer goods in the U.S. means there will be less imports into the U.S. Less imports in the U.S. translates to a reduction in exports from China, which is significant as the U.S. has the largest GDP of all nations. As the U.S. is reducing imports, it will be purchasing less goods from China, which means the U.S. will be giving up less dollars to purchase Chinese goods with the yuan. Will a decline in demand for consumer goods in the U.S. impact China's economy given the above information? If so, how would that affect the dollar-yuan exchange rate?

In the foreign exchange market, the supply curve for the dollar is upward sloping. That is, when the exchange rate (foreign currency per dollar) increases, the quantity of dollars supplied increases. Assuming actors have not yet had time to change their expectations about the future exchange rate, when the exchange rate increases, why is the supply curve of dollars in the foreign exchange market upward sloping? Foreign goods and services are less expensive to import. U.S. firms profit more by selling their goods and services domestically rather than selling to foreigners. The expected profitability of purchasing a dollar today to sell in the future rises. U.S. goods are less expensive for foreigners to purchase.
