Introduction The Chinese Central Bank devalued the RMB on August 11, 2014 which was the largest drop in the RMB ever. And the devaluation continued for two days and accumulatively knock 4.4% off the value of RMB on August 13, 2015(COUGH & BRADSHER). While Chine grew to become the second largest economy in the world, RMB, as the national currency of China has been gaining in value steadily and such a sudden downward move raises worldwide attention. The problem is that the devaluation of the RMB has caused the slowdown of Chinese manufacturers. As a result, Chinese companies will lay-off employers. Devaluation of RMB is a monetary policy which affected the people in many aspects. It could influence every consumer, worker and investor in overseas buying power, export trade, cross-border investment and wages. Nowadays, with soaring commodity costs, house price and unstable stock, the people in China are under high pressure and we should improve our concern about the monetary policy. Because it relevant to people’s life and business closely, it is important to explore the long-term trend and the political intent of valuation of RMB. The purpose of this paper is to examine how leaderships decide to devalue the RMB and the effect of the decision. The paper will focus on the process of the decision making of Chinese Central Bank. And this research will

Well respected puritan minister, in his sermon, Jonathan Edwards,”Sinners in the hands of an Angry God” (1741), establishes the consequences of why God won’t accept them in the Puritan Religion. Edwards purpose is to impress upon the Puritans’ Religion is to get God to forgive everyone so they can be accepted into the religion. He adopts a desperate tone because he’s so worried about the Puritans’ because God is wrathful and will punish them for their sins. Edward supports his claim by employing, repetition,imagery, and pathos to make the readers frightened of sinning and the consequences with it.
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.
For an economy other than Australia, explain how government development strategies have responded to the process of globalisation.
China, the largest growing market in the world, currently has a policy regarding monetary regulation that allows the Yuan to “float”. This has seen the Yuan appreciate by approximately 24% over the past few years. Today, the exchange rate between the Chinese Yuan and the American Dollar is approximately 6.3 Yuan to 1 Dollar. Some argue that China should revalue the Yuan again the dollar, establishing a more fixed exchange rate. Others believe that current should allow
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
Most readers identify Stephen King’s works as horror, however he sees them as suspense novels (citation needed). Stephen King is often associated with the horror genre because of his excessive use of gore in his novels. However, gore is merely a side agenda that helps King shape his ideas. Instead, King’s main goal is to create suspense. By creating a vivid image of the impact of a murder, rape, or other catastrophe he is able to foster his goal by unnerving his reader and creating a conflict. Stephen King’s extensive and creative use of detail and literary elements in his novels assists the motive for the conflict between good and evil, constructs a complete depiction of the supernatural and reality, and builds an ongoing sense of tension.
These effective strategies helped Hong Kong overcome the financial crisis. All these facts fully demonstrated that China is a responsible big country. After the Asia financial crisis, the importance of China's economy has been brought into focus; China's neighboring countries have begun to recognize the influence of the Renminbi.
The Norm Violation that I performed took place in six different places, but mostly in the same environment. The Violations took place in Sayreville, New Brunswick, North Brunswick, Hazlet, Marlboro, and Matawan. You may now be asking yourself, what is in these towns that perform the same function? It could be a Police Department, Fire Department, a Food Market, a Burger King or even a Car Dealership. Well let me tell you that if you guessed any of these you were close but you didn't pin the tail on the donkey. The setting for my Norm Violation took place at several Movie Theaters in Middlesex and Monmouth Counties.
The appreciation of the RMB issue has attracted attention of various circles at home and abroad. By analyzing the current RMB exchange rate appreciation on China’s economic impact at all levels, I will mainly from the industrial structure, export structure, and enterprises to change their operational mechanism, to ease trade tensions and the effectiveness of monetary policy five-pronged approach to analysis; and my final conclusion: RMB exchange-rate appreciation generated by the final result is more positive than negative, impact is positive. In the current context of the appreciation has become a fact, china should actively take the appropriate follow-up measures to stabilize and optimize the economic environment, to minimize possible
China devaluation will have a negative impact on Brazilian economy, as china is Brazil largest export market. Weaker Yuan for Brazil means loss in terms of trade with the Asian giant, even though these are not normal events in Brazil, as they are facing the worst economic downturn in two decades. Even though this even has a negative impact it also has a positive impact and that the Brazilian real has fallen to its lowest level in 12 years and favoring Brazilian exports abroad. Even though the Yuan has dropped by about 3%, the Brazilian real has lost 23% of its value. Even though the Brazilian economy is in crisis due to china but more to do with the overall slowdown of the Asian economy.
Furthermore while China does have motivation to keep the value of the yuan down there are downsides. While China has strict regulations they cannot prevent powerful Multinational Enterprises from moving their business and foreign direct investment they bring elsewhere. More importantly it is estimated that the richest one percent of Chinese households hold $2 -5 trillion in property and liquid assets. If the yuan is devalued too much these wealthy could overwhelm China’s vast foreign exchange reserve. (The Economist, 2012)
In recent years, China’s balance of payments always keeps “double favorable balance”. In 2005, China’s national economy developed quickly and stably. The exchange rat of RMB became more flexible. The current account surplus increased obviously and the capital account surplus decreased. The foreign exchange reserve still increased quickly. In 2005, Chinese government did some fiscal policy and monetary policy. Such as decreased government expense, raise the tax rate, used managed floating system, improve the foreign exchange management, enlarged the foreign exchange market. We can conclude that china’s BOP will still keep “double favorable balance” and keep
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
