why do so many people want china to "revaluate" the yuan? thanks.

No.

We're allies with China. I was refering as a metaphor that we are treating China like it is the USSR.

no we're not really allies with china. the US has such a high dependence on chinese "soft goods" (consumer goods as opposed to industrial) that the US is quite bound to china. and about all the jobs moving back if the yuan goes up. everything will skyrocket in price. the 15 dollar shirts at sears will go up to like 30-40.

US also has the prob about jobs going to China. US wants to try to stop it, yet they were the ones that pressured to join the WTO. says something of the US. take the Unocal sale. Chevron (i think...) offered a bid. A chinese company offered a bid. chevron took a "dont finance china. theyre taking away all our jobs" stance and won the bid, even tho china offered a higher bid. if the US supports a global market, why did the Congress even attempt to have a bill blocking the sale to china? personally, much of the US needs to look at itself before pointing fingers at other nations

problem for US is that China is too much of a global superpower for the US to contend with. in someways, its more powerful to the US. many of the North American and European markets are very connected to China. combine that with no powerful US allies in asia plus a very strong russia china N Korea bond, and the us really has some problems when dealing with china.

china is more of a socialist country than communist now.

and i THINK the US did acknowledge taiwan's independence (which is personally think is BS) and i know the us promised to help out taiwan if they are attacked by china (which is a stupid promise).
