What happens if China does not allow their currency to appreciate and move upwards relative to dollar ?
Is their anything in their interest to let their currency appreciate ?
I remember the "Japanese invasion" in the 80's - where their imports were taking over US. Then it was 200 yen/dollar. Now it is less than 100. Their currency appreciation against the dollar seem to have "balanced out" trade between both companies.
If China just held current exchange rate - would they just continue to "suck the wealth" out of the US ?
I do not understand any downsides to them on continuing their current practice.
