The USA is sounding desperate and scared, now…
The Chinese are winning this “Mother of God Great Trade War”, without even taxing their system…
China has and for a long time now hooks its currency against USD or any other major currencies for that matter, to maintain its value within a narrow acceptable range…
China would mediate its money supply to print more Yuan to drive down and or up value, as needed. If the Yuan drops too much, China would buy up more Yuan, to shore up its value, using its massive $1.4 trillion – USD reserve….like a piggy bank in your home….fill it when life is roses and empty it when life throws rain upon you…
Almost always China has intervened to keep the Yuan low, (not propping it up), in the last several decades it has been very consistent, so the appreciation of the Yuan, due to rapid economic growth, won’t hurt it’s giant export production machine…
A cheap currency helps export, and decreases imports, thus increasing trade surplus with who they deal with, while an expensive, strong or over-valued currency, like the USD, does the opposite. This is evident as we watch what is happening…
A strong currency encourages import, and discourage export. This is why USA has a massive Trade Deficit with nearly every countries. Literally every country in the world. It is because it has to be when you have the reserve currency…
The USD is excessively over-valued…
By the USA adding tariffs on the Chinese products, and proclaim the Chinese economy is going to crash anytime, the USA has created the expectation or perception that the Chinese exports will suffer, therefore, the Yuan will be traded lower…
The Chinese simply have let that exactly happen, and they had to do nothing, and the USA accuses the Chinese of currency manipulation…
This is the most brilliant move the Chinese (Or the stupidest move by the USA.) have made yet. Yet we are the ones to have tied the rope around our own necks and handed the end of that rope to China…
If China voluntarily devalue the Yuan, to help their exports, to fight Trump’s Great Trade War against China, they will be surely viewed as currency manipulators around the world. But they are not, for the world is watching a flailing Titanic sink…
Now, that the USA did this for the Chinese, by her daily attacks upon the Chinese and keep playing the tariff game. The tariffs ultimately fall upon the American people and businesses, creating a perception of lies, that the Chinese are hurting badly. The western media is complacent in spreading those lies…
They simply just let the Yuan slide…
Believe what you want but the USA is loosing this battle, for we have nothing to fight with, but our currency and since we weaponized our currency, we have showed the world that we are unreliable to do business with…
