Under what circumstances might a decision to let the yuan float freely destabilize the Chinese economy? What might the global implications of this be?
If the there is outside pressure from Western governments and Chinese trading partners. Where, they will begin to impose tariffs and duties in an effort to force the Chinese to change their policy. This would destabilize the Chinese economy, resulting in a collapse of their export markets. The global implications would be that this kind of action would result in China retaliating with tariffs and duties of their own, resulting in a worldwide depression. (Hill, 2008, pg. 371)
Do you think the U.S. government should push the Chinese to let the yuan float freely? Why?
Yes. The reason why, is because the inability of China to let the yuan float freely, is creating imbalances in the global economy. If this is allowed to continue,...
As they have large currency reserves at the expense of the rest of the world.
Do you think the Chinese government should let the yuan float, maintain the peg or change the peg in some way?
Clearly, China needs to let yuan float freely. The reason why is because, the current policy is creating imbalances in the Chinese and world economy. If this issue is not addressed, it could lead to a bubble possibly developing in the Chinese economy. At the same time, the large trade surpluses that the county has are: creating anonymity among many of its trading partners. If the peg on the yuan is not eliminated, this will result in a trade war sometime in the future. Once this occurs, the world economy could fall into a severe contraction.

State Domination and Financial Markets The Chinese government has characterized its involvement in economic development as "serving rather than supervising the private economy" since 2008 (Xinhua, 2009). With this shift in focus a number of changes to Chinese management can be expected. The paternalistic approach will remain, as it is part of Chinese culture, but there will be further Western influences, particularly with respect to the desire outcomes of management behavior. In
As long as the government will be able to tackle these concerns and retain a sustainable development of the economy, it is likely that China will become one of the most prosperous countries in the world. However, the authorities will need to watch for popular discontent following income inequality.

China's Economy During and After the Economic Crisis All of these factors created major growth for China for the three decades following the beginnings of its economic reforms, and then the financial crisis hit. China began the twenty-first century with a growth rate of 8.4% in 2000, peaking in 2007 with a 13% growth rate (IMF 2010). In 2008, this rate fell to 9.6% -- a significant drop, but still a
The market reform process in China is proceeding at a slow pace, in order not to shock the economy. This also gives China the time to progress along the learning curve as it brings in talent from more developed Asian countries and from the West in order to help Chinese managers adapt to capitalistic business practices. Over time, however, China will need to loosen its restrictions, which could have severe
China's currency policy may make that country the main country with whom the U.S. has a current account deficit, but if not for China the U.S. would have the same problems, just with another country for the protectionists to scapegoat. 3) I think an aggressive legislative posture is the best approach to take with regards to China's currency position. Ultimately, China is an economic actor the same as any other.
Most economists feel that if China's currency were allowed to trade freely, it would be a whole lot more. No one can know for sure how much more, but leading economists put it in a range of 10 to 40% higher value than it is now (Davidson 2006), By keeping the Yuan artificially low in value, China is effectively giving the U.S. consumer a discount on all Chinese exports.
