SHANGHAI/HONG KONG - China’s yuan skidded against the U.S. dollar on Monday, weakening beyond the key 7-per-dollar level for the first time in more than a decade, as pressure mounted on the world’s second-biggest economy from an escalating trade row.
U.S. President Donald Trump stunned financial markets on Thursday by vowing to impose 10% tariffs on the remaining $300 billion of Chinese imports from Sept. 1, abruptly breaking a ceasefire in the trade war since his meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping at the G20 summit in June.had weakened to 7.0240 per dollar by 0155 GMT, the first time it had breached the 7-per-dollar level since May 9, 2008.
The flare-up in trade tensions has renewed global financial market concerns over how much China will allow the yuan to weaken to offset heavier pressure on its exporters. “With additional tariffs on the way, the PBOC is likely to come up with more easing to support growth,” she added.
I thought the yuan was cheap when I was there! I’m going back and living it up on the US dollar. Cheap historic hotels, tasty restaurants, and soaking up culture since Marco Polo. Thank you President Trump!
Ben vs Mao: Who knew more? Who did more? Who invented more? Who’s worth more?
Yuan going down! Been there before.
the situation tells me China will win the game
A trade war w/ China was always inevitable. Trump just accelerated it while we still have the upper hand imo

Pompeo Steps Up China Criticism: ‘We Were Asleep at the Switch’Secretary of State Mike Pompeo escalated his criticism of China during a visit to Australia on Sunday, drawing a direct link between what he called one-sided trade deals and China’s ability to strengthen its military. It's becoming clearer every day how incompetent this administration truly is. Where it's leading us is somewhere not good. for the past 4 years I've been saying that we were going to have problems with China... and we could thank every American company that out Sauced American jobs to China. Outsourcing jobs to China has caused this problem that we will have with China. the American Patriots Administration is almost as poor as ‘journalism’ aka conservative propaganda.
