About Revaluation of RMB
On the 2004-02-27 China Daily, there is an editorial titled "RMB revaluation unhelpful to US unemployment: Greenspan". "cRevaluation of the Renminbi (RMB) will be of no help to America's unemployment problem, Alan Greenspan, the "economy steersman" said twice in a short period of two monthscFederal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan testified to the US Congress on February 11 that attempts to restrict Chinese commodities would offer no help to solving America's unemployment problem. This is his second remark on a China issue in two months, which served as a best dose of sobriety to those clamoring for RMB appreciation.hEconomists are calling for a rational evaluation of the Chinese yuan (RMB) currency amid an international debate on its true value, and pressure from some of China's trading partners for the government to revalue the currency.
