Abstract

The Yuan-Dollar exchange rate has been a sore point in US-China trade relations in the early to mid-2000s, with the US government asserting that the Yuan is undervalued and that this provides an unfair advantage in trade to China. The issue has been discussed in numerous economic, foreign relations, and international trade studies. While some analysts criticise China for not letting the Yuan appreciate against the US Dollar, others consider the low US savings rate to be the root cause of the US trade deficit with China. The case discusses the issue and attempts to analyse the impact of China's currency policy on the economies of both countries.
