“The U.S. wants China to pay its economic bills by raising the value of the yuan. This is preposterous!”-Zhang Yansheng, Institute of Foreign Economics
Officials from China and the United States are meeting this week to discuss, what else, economic issues. Many U.S. officials want the Chinese to raise the value of their money, the yuan, in order to help the U.S. dollar. But the Chinese say bullsh*t!
Ma Xiaoye, of the China Foundation for International & Strategic Studies, says U.S. leaders created the economic problems, so “How can the U.S. count on a foreign currency to solve them?” Zhang Yansheng added “The U.S. should take responsibility for its own policies, instead of asking China to pay for it.”
The U.S. wants China to raise the value of their money, against the U.S. dollar, to help fight inflation in the United States.
Chinese analysts say the problem is that every time the Federal Reserve implements a quantitative easing (QE) policy, it sends “hot money” into the world economy creating “market bubbles”, which is what China does not want.
Maybe if the Federal Reserve stops issuing money that really isn’t there, the Chinese might decide to raise the value of their money.
