Not referring to the stripper chicks... And, well, not medicinally out of focus but WHY is China not a subforum within the forum? I may personally have a bit of understanding toward carpathean men and, well... Enjoy the imagination of others, however, on a serious note... WHAT THE HELL ARE WE NOT DOING? *Really*? I get the Latino flavor.... Bring it.
Oh, I apologize, I should have named this one of 'Witchcraft's finest' for the moment. Currency:U.S. Dollar (USD) ugh... and to be further aware that apparently wiki and educational sources have *apparently* and *obviously* unified... (personal *note*) A Weak Dollar Benefits Chinese Exports - Seeking Alpha For those readers who tire of charts: enjoy! As the "news" continues to trumpet the decline/collapse of the U.S. dollar, many observers seem to have forgotten that the U.S. dollar is the de facto "shared currency" of the world's largest economy and its biggest rising-star economy. Yes, the U.S. and the PRC--China. China's currency (officially the renminbi, a.k.a. yuan) is transparently pegged to the U.S. dollar at about 6.8 yuan to the dollar, down from 8+ a few years ago.

It was not supposed to overtake the United States as the worlds leading producer of greenhouse gases until 2020 but a study by a Dutch government-funded group released in June 2007 determined that China was already the worlds No. 1 emitter of carbon dioxide then.

In August 2008, Germanys IWR Institute concluded that Chinas carbon dioxide emissions in 2008 were 6.8 million tonsthe most of any nation and 178 percent higher than the 1990 level.

US Senate forges ahead with bill on Chinese currency Fri, Oct 07, 2011 - Defying long odds and opposition from China, the US business community and the White House, the US Senate was determined to press ahead yesterday with a measure to punish Beijing for its alleged currency manipulation.
I am sincerely worried.... so few of Americans even recognize the potential power China has... and IF we are not wise, it will be power OVER US.
The weak dollar benefits Chinese exports, but it hurts China overall because it fuels the inflation problem that it already has. This shows how old (and possibly irrelevant) this article has become. The yen's at 76.76 right now.
Old, indeed... it is as though there is a conspiracy as to who and how news media can print things regarding competitive superpowers. Is America bound? That is it? We are bound by something that prevents us from being able to successfully recognize let alone address our root issues?
