Tuesday, August 24, 2010, 11:40 AM Since China's headline-grabbing promise of currency revaluation two months ago, the yuan has appreciated a paltry 0.4% against the dollar. Economist Eswar Prasad explains it was a "masterstroke for China to announce greater yuan flexibility... right about when the dollar had peaked," but the long-term picture is more complicated.

Friday, July 30, 2010, 8:22 AM China overtakes Japan to become the world's second-largest economy, the fruit of three decades of rapid growth. Depending on how fast the yuan is allowed to rise, China could overtake the U.S. and vault into the No.1 spot by 2025. 1 Comment
Tuesday, July 20, 2010, 8:37 AM The trade picture is "still complicated and grim," says China's Ministry of Commerce, noting export growth will slow in H2 in part because of austerity measures in Europe.

Monday, July 19, 2010, 2:24 AM China should take advantage of the Treasury bull market and cut its holdings in U.S. government securities, a former adviser to the PBOC says.

Tuesday, June 29, 2010, 4:16 AM The Shanghai composite fell 4.3% and the Nikkei dropped 1.4% Tuesday.
