WASHINGTON (AP) — The U.S. Treasury Department labeled China a currency manipulator Monday after Beijing pushed down the value of its yuan in a dramatic escalation of the trade conflict between the world’s two biggest economies.

The decision, which came hours after President Donald Trump accused China of unfairly devaluing its currency, marks a reversal for Treasury: In May, it had declined to sanction China for manipulating its currency.

The U.S. has not put China on the currency blacklist since 1994.

The designation could pave the way for more U.S. sanctions against China.

Earlier Monday, China had allowed its currency to weaken to an 11-year low, a move that gives its exporters a price edge in world markets and eases some of the damage from U.S. tariffs on Chinese products.

Let us hope it's not a blind aggression gamble.

Hope they're playing our game and we aren't playing theirs.

The man has balls of steel.


He's the only person in the public forum with the nuts to pull off what he's trying to do.

He's trying to uncuck the entire fricking planet.

This is retarded. If they didn't "manipulate" their currency the CNY would collapse. They are supporting it not devaluing it. That would be suicidal with their drained dollar reserves and cause a banking crisis.

They shouldn’t prop up or devalue their currency.

The law under which it was done didn't get passed until 1988. Last guy to do it was slick Willie who promptly took them off once he started getting the sweet sweet Chinese campaign cash.

So - they are forced to manipulate their currency to avoid collapse. And now they subject to financial sanctions for doing so.

Sounds like they are in a real bind. Wonder how they got there? And how they can get out?


,...genius of Trump at work.

I'd say that gives us some leverage in the negotiations.
