During my days in HK, no body would dare want to have a YUAN. Now it's dictating the regional currency.

Something is terribly wrong here

How the hell can a country of fake dictate the real ones???

Because China is the factory of the world.

Cheap labor + iron fisted rule = cheap manufacturing.

Help me figure this out:
- Yuan devaluates, making Chinese products cheaper...but
- importers pay with USD, and USD is going up, making imports more expensive

What is the net effect on the import of goods?

People can't seem to figure out why China's currency devaluation caused Asia-Pacific currencies to fall. It's because everyone only thinks of China as an exporter. People forget that China is a massive importer. Many Asia-Pacific countries export to China. The fortune of many countries are tied to China. For example, China is Australia's biggest customer. Australia supplies minerals to China. As China's demand for minerals fell so went the Australian dollar.

Even before the devaluation China's imports have already been been falling. The devaluation will make imports more expensive. As demand from China falls so goes the economies of China's suppliers.

Here's another chart showing exports to China as share of GDP.

Now I guess people will understand why currencies of countries that export to China fell in reaction to RMB devaluation.
