The United States was expected to decide whether to formally label China a “currency manipulator,” in its congressionally mandated,

Chinese Commerce Ministry spokesman Yao Jian said Friday it is unfair for the U.S. to criticize the yuan’s exchange rate by simply pointing at the Chinese trade surplus.
On Wednesday,
prince 03, U.S. Senator Max Baucus said there is a “very real possibility” the U.S. Senate will pass a bill that would penalize China because of the value of its currency.
China posted a $16.9 billion trade surplus in September. That was less than the $20 billion surplus in August but enough to prompt new demands for the world’s second-largest economy to let the yuan trade more freely on financial markets.
Baucus is chairman of the Senate Finance Committee, which may soon consider legislation that would let U.S. companies ask for duties on Chinese products to compensate for the effects of an artificially weak yuan.
