RMB

Great discussion of the RMB.
Revaluation of the RMB is not negative for China but will be a reallocation of wealth from government and manufacturers to households. Not clear it will help the US trade deficit as manufacturing will shift to other low cost producers.


How will an RMB revaluation affect China, the US, and the world?

Scott Sumner:
Five countries in Asia Singapore, Taiwan Korea Hong Kong and Japan combined have a ca surplus as big as China. They are richer. why are we not bashing them?
