Arguments Between China And Russia

For the last twenty eight years, China has been quickly growing into one of the largest economies in the world. China has accomplished this feat, in part, by radically changing their policies on trade and free market interactions with other countries. During this process, China has bought approximately one hundred trillion dollars of United States debt in the form of Treasury bills, notes, bonds, and Inflation Protected Securities (Amadeo). This debt has given China leverage against the United States which has enabled China to keep the value of the United States dollar high, while keeping the value of the Chinese yuan low. As the inflation of the dollar continues to negatively affect the

The US dollar is used in the majority of the international transactions and therefore that happens to the American economy, will influence the international financial resources. Dollars bring big consequences both for the USA and for other countries. The economy of many countries depends on currency dollar. The increase in its course reduces the volume of the income in dollars for the country. And change of US dollar more considerably, than change of an exchange rate of the country. On the

"China is more than happy to own a large portion of the U.S. debt," as this gives it great economic clout within the international market (Amadeo, 2012). This power has the potential to seriously damage the American economy if the nation was to suddenly dump its American loan holdings. If this were to happen the value of the dollar would drop dramatically, domestic interest rates would spike, and the United States would be left standing alone to try to pick up the pieces.

In conclusion, I think that China should change its policy because it is damaging not only the U.S. economy but the economy globally. Countries such as the United States are still recovering from the economic recession we are still leaving in. It is obvious that if China let the Yuan appreciate their exports will decrease and imports will increase making their trade surplus to decrease. If this happens international countries will be grateful because by this happening means that their export will increase and employment will increase. Countries should avoid doing currency manipulation or artificially devaluing their currency because it just hurts the global economy and it promotes other countries to do the same – it hurts everyone.

Although the Yuan is seen as the new alternative there is one more currency lurking and becoming to be seen as a new way to exchange money, and that’s Bitcoin. Bitcoin is an indented source where individuals create accounts to buy accents in order to have credit. That credit is later use for other individuals to purchase goods anywhere in the world without paying fees to any government bank in order to exchange their currency. But is still works about the same way that the Federal Reserve works since it’s money that it’s not back up by any materialize product as gold and silver and instead just faith that the investors will continue to support it. But the Federal Reserve and Bitcoin still are different since Bitcoin is not support by any government nor has any centralize bank running it. This causes mayor impact to the U.S, since companies and countries might no longer have to go and exchange their currency in dollars and may do it straight forward from one currency to another. In time, the dollar would lose value and the U.S economy may change drastically.

A country such as China might choose to peg their currency to the U.S. dollar to keep prices stable for a key trading partner like the U.S. If the U.S. dollar would appreciate considerably against most currencies, this would not affect China trade with the U.S., but Chinese goods would become more expensive to their other trading partners, and could cause Chinese exports to these other markets to decrease.

The financial crisis of 2008 has been described as the worst financial crisis the world has seen since the great depression, but there are now murmurings of the potential for an even greater financial crisis, a currency crisis, caused by the demise of the US Dollar. The Dollar has been the reserve currency of the world since it took over from the Pound at the end of world war two, but we examine if it is about to crash spectacularly?

The communist systems of China and the Soviet Union shared many similarities and some distinct differences. One difference was the Russian revolution supported the working class people while the communist revolution in China won support from the peasants. Both communists systems featured a strong central state with authoritarian rule. Joseph Stalin introduced collectivization which allowed large farms to be under state control. China imitated this policy by adopting a similar policy.

The change in the exchange rate policy to move to a more flexible floating exchange rate system will inevitably compromise China’s current advantageous position in trading especially the export which takes a heavy weight in China’s GDP. The appreciation of RMB will deprive the Chinese enterprises of the advantage to leverage the cheap materials and labor to compete in the international market. This might be a positive indication for China’s importers who has a focus on the domestic markets rather than the international market, where the importers’ purchasing power gets enhanced if the domestic currency appreciate. However, China is still heavily relying on export to grow their GDP at this point and a revaluation of RMB would be very dangerous for the country. Thousands of factories counting on exports might be closed and millions of workers would lose their jobs. As pointed out by Morgan Stanley Economist Andy Xie in the case, “China’s priority is stability and currency flexibility should not be allowed to conflict with this goal”. On the flip side though, a revaluation of the RMB would not necessarily change the current situation of US and EU who had a large trade deficit with China. The reduced imports from China are unlikely to stimulate the growth of the domestic productions of those

Having exports increase, however, would cause America’s imports to decrease. This would make it harder on international firms that have production occurring in China and other places around the world. A lot of Americans would believe this to be a good thing, as it would reduce job migration overseas. On the other hand, I see this as hurting the established American companies that rely on overseas production. If the United States did not have much production occurring overseas, then a weaker dollar would increase exports without as much of a detriment to the imports needed by corporations. With the increasing international trading of firms, revaluing currency would cause them to have to reevaluate their strategies and accommodate a more valuable Yuan. In the meantime, they would lose profits until their new strategies could be implemented.

Finally given the slowing economy in Asia the International Monetary Fund (IMF) has reclassified the yuan. Previously the IMF considered it to be “substantially undervalued” compared to other currencies. The IMF has softened its tone toward the Chinese yuan and it is now considered “moderately undervalued”. This new designation makes it harder for the United States government to make a case against and therefore policies to target the imports based on the Chinese yuan. (Davis, 2012)

Secondly, the fixed dollar-pegged exchange rate system and monetary policy, the independence of the existence of a fundamental conflict, undermine the effectiveness of monetary policy cannot meet the needs of economic development. Monetary policy autonomy is essential for China’s macroeconomic stability; monetary policy should take precedence over the independence of significant exchange rate stability. But the Yuan against the U.S. dollar exchange

The history of Sino-Soviet relations can be traced back hundreds of years, starting with the initial Mongol invasion and devastation of the Kievan Rus’ principalities in the mid-thirteenth century. With time, the rise of the Russian Empire and Czarist rule reversed the infrastructural and cultural destruction caused by the Mongol hordes; by the advent of the twentieth century, the reformed Russian state had begun encroaching on Chinese territory while holding a very strong, influential grasp on the slowly collapsing Imperial Chinese regime. However, with the success of the Russian Revolution in 1917, the creation of the Soviet Union, and the institution of a communist government and administration, the nature of

The US and Europe felt that the RMB was undervalued for several reasons. One reason is that China’s exports had dramatically increased, growing 30% from 2004 to 2005, making China the third largest exporter in the world and accounting for
