A timely piece by Henny Sender: A currency skirmish that was not made in China
“Before 2005, the value of the renminbi was fixed at a constant rate against the dollar. Since that peg was relaxed, the Chinese redback had risen 25 per cent against the greenback.

Even the International Monetary Fund no longer finds the currency undervalued.”
