The Yuan – or Renminbi – is the national currency of China.  Few understand its inner workings, as – like most Chinese financial data – transparency is limited; particularly regarding the currency; which has been “pegged” to the world’s major currencies for two decades…

The Forgotten Peg: Chinese Yuan and U.S. Dollar

Per the chart below, the Yuan/Dollar exchange rate was UNCHANGED from 1993-2005; and since then, has been allowed to gradually decline within a prescribed range dictated by a basket of global currencies – dominated by the U.S. dollar…


This “forgotten peg” is by far the most LETHAL weapon in the global CURRENCY WARS; as it has enabled China to acquire MASSIVE global manufacturing share…


…which is EXACTLY what Japan and the rest of the world’s CURRENCY WAR participants are targeting – at the expense of each other

Could Abe’s Devaluation of Japanese Yen Spur a Currency War?

Yet, the Yuan peg gets little attention because China has become TPTC, or “Too Powerful to Challenge.  From time to time, American politicians bluster about China de-pegging the Yuan; but mostly, such rhetoric simply targets votes from the uninformed public.  The fact remains that China is the U.S.’s LARGEST CREDITOR…


…and without the cheap industrial production the peg enables, Americans would immediately experience MASSIVE price inflation…

With a drop in demand for the dollar, import prices will rise.  As the US is now an import-dependent country, from that day on, Americans who walk into Wal-Mart will think they have walked into Neiman Marcus.

-“GERALD CELENTE, PATRIOT

To maintain the peg, the Bank of China does what all Central banks due amidst CURRENCY WARS; PRINT MONEY in unlimited quantities – just as the supposedly “conservative” Swiss National Bank has done since pegging the Franc to the Euro in September 2011…


In China’s case, it must print Yuan “unit for unit” with production of currencies from the aforementioned global “basket”…


…which care of “Worldwide QE to Infinity”; has recently gone parabolic – in the U.S.


…Europe…


…and Japanamong others


…so much so, China currently prints half the world’s currency to maintain the peg…

China Accounts for Nearly Half of the World’s New Money Supply

Per above, the Yuan peg has enabled China to become the undisputed KING of manufacturing.  However, the other way China is DESTROYING AMERICA is by acquiring PHYSICAL gold – in its preparations to take over as the world’s top superpower

China Eclipses U.S. as Biggest Trading Nation

The last time China publiclyincreased its “official” gold reserves was four years ago…

China reveals it has 1,054 tonnes of gold reserves – April 2009

…but other data proves it continues to buy gold at a breakneck pace…

China’s Gold Imports from Hong Kong Double to New Record In 2012

…both in the public sector…


…and via private citizens


The Chinese will continue to trade their dollars – and the Yuan PRINTED to maintain the peg – until there is no more gold and other ITEMS OF REAL VALUE to purchase with depreciated fiat currencies.  And when that occurs, it will be revealed to all “HOW CHINA DESTROYED AMERICA.”

“HOW CHINA DESTROYED AMERICA.”

Uh-huh. So it is all China's fault. No mistakes were made in the good old USA. We always encourage savings in the USofA. We don't print money willy-nilly. We don't encourage over-extended people to consume, consume, consume. We don't demand the lowest prices on consumer goods. And we always buy locally produced goods. Most of all, we always take responsibility for all of our actions. Unlike some other countries we won't name, we always pay our debts promptly.

Ranting Sgt. Schultz says, "I know nothing." And that is obvious.

I suppose it's not whether you win or lose, it is where you place the blame. Ergo “HOW CHINA DESTROYED AMERICA.”

You know, sometimes it helps to be familiar with what the author writes. It can prevent you from possibly coming across as a complete dufus. Obviously, from your comments, you are not a Ranting Andy reader. I wonder if you even read this article, or was just reading the title all you needed to educate us?

With apologies O.P., but Prattling Andy has rarely been able to make sense of the tidbits of information he stumbles across. The peg was lifted 8 years ago and since, the yuan has appreciated some 20%. In real terms what that means is that the $3 trillion in Yanqui paper that they hold is now worth $2.4 trillion. Was China supposed to sit by and do nothing as their foreign reserves' value was melted away by Easy Al and Helicopter Ben?

And let us not forget that unlike the other serial printers who have next to nothing to show for all the new money created, China has been very busy building high speed rail, subways, airports, hydro electric generating plants, port facilities, warehouses, factories, sporting venues and the like. Those are the sort of things that give value to paper money; a concept totally lost on those who like to proclain that our money is backed by nothing.

Correct me if i am wrong, but there were no complaints to be heard about the peg when it gave Yanqui companies a competitive edge to have their manufacturing done there. But now we get constant complaints from the nattering class because the Chinese do not want to see their hard earned foreign reserves turned into so much kindling by utterly irresponsible western (and Japanese) central bankers.

Sorry, but twits like Prattling Andy need to stop and think about what they are about to say before opening their mouths and exposing their deep ignorance.
