    Bout time. Means China's currency will be that much closer to floating with the other majors.

    This will make it more difficult for China to manipulate the yen. I am not certain that it will have much positive effect on the RMB $peg.

    Should, as they are the same thing. Japan's realizing buying our debt for good US prices on their exports does not help them in China's market, that is also huge to them for both supply chain and future consumers sales. Japan doing the same with India.
