China Uses Rules on Global Trade to Its Advantage


Last week, U.S. President Barack Obama asked China to allow the yuan to appreciate, amplifying complaints that Beijing artificially keeps the yuan undervalued to boost exports.

But Wen decried the calls.

"We oppose the practice of finger-pointing among countries or strong-arm measures to force other countries to appreciate currencies," Wen said.

Chinese Exports Up Strongly In February

China’s oil demand surges 28% in January

China reportedly warns Google's partners

Google is now “99.9 per cent” certain it will shut down its Chinese search engine, according to a report citing “a person familiar with the company’s thinking.”

China had a $198 billion trade surplus with the rest of the world last year, with its exports to the United States outpacing imports by more than four to one. Despite that, in the last 12 months, Beijing has filed more cases with the W.T.O.’s powerful trade tribunals in Geneva than any other country complaining about another’s trade practices.

In addition, Beijing has worked to suppress a series of I.M.F. reports since 2007 documenting how the country has substantially undervalued its currency, the renminbi, said three people with detailed knowledge of China’s actions.

China buys dollars and other foreign currencies — worth several hundred billion dollars a year — by selling more of its own currency, which then depresses its value. That intervention helped Chinese exports to surge 46 percent in February compared with a year earlier.

hi england33,
I just visited your great thread , very informative indeed.

Jeff Rubin talks about how skyrocketing oil prices will see a regression in global economies, and a return to local ones, as outlined in his new book, Why Your World Is About to Get a Whole Lot Smaller.

Thanks Shahab!!

USD/CAD: support holds at 1.0155

I know nothing about USD/CAD, let’s make that clear from the outset, yet I do get some good pieces of information there from time to time. I was told last week by a professional trader that if you want to be long, make sure your stops are below 1.0155. The low on Friday night was 53 I believe. It looks like this level has been vindicated, so if you are still long I’d be getting nervous below 1.0150.
