"We are finally hitting back now": The American senate has passed a law which shall force China to the upgrading of its currency. The USA reproach the government in Beijing for judging the yuan artificially little to provide its industry with an advantage already longer. The talk already is of a trade war, and beats itself Russia now obviously on China’s side.

Despite the protests from China the U.S. senate has passed a law which shall force the government in Beijing to the upgrading of its currency, the yuan.

The USA want to force China to the upgrading of their currency. Because of the permanent undervaluation of the yuan the U.S. senate has approved a number of punishing measures against Beijing. Among other things punishing customs duties on Chinese goods belong to the sanctions. It is, however, still open, whether the House of Representatives also agrees with it with its republican majority. The USA reproach China for judging its currency artificially too little to provide with an advantage to the industry of one’s own with that. Among other things cheap goods reach on the U.S. market what in turn leads to job losses in the United States. China would drive a real trade war for years against the USA the democratic senator Charles cursed, shade in: “We are finally hitting back but now.” Many expect themselves from a yuan increased the value by compulsion American politician on the world market improves competition conditions for the U.S. industry and with that the rescue of local jobs. The government in Beijing protested about the request of the U.S. senate. It explained the USA behaved protectionistly and violated in a rough way with that against the rules of the international trading organization WTO. Backing got China of the Russian prime minister Wladimir Putin. Not the USA themselves but their dollar monopoly was a “parasite” of the world economy, he said in an interview. Last, China had tried to have influence on the debate strongly behind the scenes. In one for the People’s Republic of unusual step the government formed one man in its U.S. message, strong working group who does systematically lobby work against the law, how government delegates of both countries of the news agency Reuters said. The communist leadership in Beijing still ignored decisions largely in the convention few years ago.
