Anti-China Legislation Is Not the Solution

Don't Blame China for U.S. Economic Woes

Back to argument

In relative terms, the Yuan is more undervalued now than a year ago. This longstanding undervaluation is deliberate. It has taken a serious toll on U.S. manufacturing, with millions of good-paying jobs lost.

Until the currency peg is addressed, U.S. manufacturers are placed at a serious disadvantage.

This is a protectionist policy of currency manipulation, it violates world trade law, and it's not acceptable.
