Sunday, October 3, 2010, 4:37 AM China's non-manufacturing PMI rises a solid 1.6 points to 61.7, following up a pair of manufacturing PMIs that showed a strong revival in factory output after a mid-year lull.

Saturday, October 2, 2010, 3:53 PM Morph366 says Chinese Premier's Wen Jiabao's magnanimous pledge to "support euro zone countries and Greece to overcome the crisis" shows remarkable cunning: Recognizing its dependency on the solvency of its less-dynamic trading partners, Beijing has every reason to exploit its de-facto role as global currency arbiter. 5 Comments
Monday, September 27, 2010, 8:26 AM China calls the House's approval of a bill that would allow the U.S. to apply import duties on goods from countries with undervalued currencies "redundant," saying it will allow the yuan to rise according to its own economic assessment and not due to U.S. pressure.

Wednesday, September 22, 2010, 10:28 AM While the world waxes enthusiastic about China's growing economic strength, Premier Wen Jiabao remains a skeptic, recently decrying his country's "lack of balance, co-ordination and sustainability in economic development."
