The Yuan and Walmart
The Yuan and Wal-Mart
The world is facing economics problems. Exportation and importation is a contemporary issue that some countries have been talking about. There is the belief that some global business are not fare and that the money value of other countries do not help it to make it better for everybody. An excellent example is the value of the Chinese Yuan versus American dollars.
Economists believe that the Chinese’s government is controlling and keeping their currency relatively low to get more economic advantages. This is one of the reason of why Chinese products are cheaper that the American products. For that reason leaders of this and more countries are debating to make china to stop controlling their currency. Which, it is not the only problem, because wall-mart, being one of the most powerful businesses around the world gets its products from China. If the Yuan value change to a real value will be a big problem for Wal-Mart and for the thousands of employees which are around the world. At the beginning it would produce a big economic problem but as the other companies began to grow, the economy could get better. I believe that is just marketing, because is know that Chinese products are cheap but does not last long. It is a new TV series called “Made in America” that is showing us that is possible to buy good and cheap things made in America; we just need to look for them. I believe that this would help a lot the economy of the country.
To conclude I will say that we do not have to change any country currency, we just need to value and buy what is made in our territory, even if you have to pay one more dollar for a product made in here, but you would know that you’re helping to create more jobs and probably it would last more than the inexpensive

    A single trip to Wal-Mart can show the power of China 's economy. The tags on most of the retail items in the store have the familiar "Made in China" stamp. By simply watching the news over the past decade, Americans know that the reason the U.S. imports so much of its merchandise from China is because Chinese companies can pay their workers far less to manufacture goods than American companies can.…

    Recently, under the pressure of other countries especially the U.S., China changed its exchange rate by 2.1 percent in July 2005 and has been resisting making big changes in its exchange rates system. This policy change not only indicates that China will no longer peg the dollar at the historically fixed rate with the U.S. dollar but would adjust gradually its currency to a basket of other currencies.…

    “The four factors that determined current modern economy are land, labor, energy, and capital. These are also the four factors of production.” (Hill, 2011) Over the last 30 years, national economies shifted far from what they use to be. National economies use to be relatively self-contained entities, isolated by barriers to trade and investment, with differences in government regulation, culture, and business systems. Now it has shifted toward a world where barriers to trade and investment are declining, cultures are converging, and national economies are merging into an integrated, interdependent global economic system. “Today, there are more than $3 trillion dollars in foreign exchange transactions taking place everyday as well as over $12 million dollars of goods and $3 trillion dollars worth of being sold across the boarders.” (Hill, 2011) Places like the United States use to be the dominant country but now because China and Japan are becoming so successful, The dominance of the United States has diminished.…

    Currency Manipulation

    • 1869 Words

    In recent years, the level of distrust has skyrocketed due to currency manipulation, or the tool used by the P.R.C. to keep its currency value low in order to keep exports cheap. While most all trading nations participate in currency manipulation, China is one of the largest culprits. In order to have an undervalued currency, a nation must be buying more than they are selling. The Chinese, with their cheaply made products and underpaid workers, export colossal amounts of products all around the world for inexpensive prices. At this point it is clear to see that the Chinese are selling more than they are buying, or exporting an enormous amount of goods and importing less. This fact should mean that the Chinese currency is strong and the value of the Chinese yuan should be driven up. The Chinese government does not want the yuan’s value to go up because than China’s exports will be more expensive and less appealing for other nations to buy. So to keep the cost of the yuan down, China uses its incoming wealth to buy tremendous amounts of U.S. dollars. Therefore, the Chinese economy is technically selling more than it is buying, driving the value of the yuan down, keeping Chinese exports and wages low and driving up the value of the U.S. dollar. By buying U.S. dollars, the Chinese can maintain an extremely high GDP, or gross domestic product, which is the sum of all the money inside the country's borders at any given time. China can afford to maintain such a high GDP because their biggest import is money, keeping their treasuries full and their wages low. This trick costs America millions of jobs and makes China an economic superpower at the same…

    A currency that is overvalued, and which makes American produced products expensive in the world market compared to goods produced in developing countries such as China. On the other hand, imports are cheaper something that continues to keep many Americans out of jobs as more companies relocate production to places like China (EPI, 2013). The communist government in China has consistently undervalued the Yuan to promote itself as the low cost production destination of the world. That is something the American government has steered clear of doing to protect its economy.…

    The first reason why should world currency be changed is that todays using of the US dollar has many disatvantages for all countries and US too. If the dollar loses status as the world's most reliable currency the United States will lose the right to print money to pay its debt. It will be forced to pay this debt. Firstly, the dollar depreciation relative to other currencies will increase output and profits for firms that export goods. The simplest form of this argument states that a weaker dollar will make American exports comparatively cheaper and therefore, foreign consumers will demand more U.S. exports. This increased demand for exports will increase output for American firms. Secondly, The United States dollar is not backed by gold or any other precious metal. In the years that followed the establishment of the dollar as the United States official form of currency, the dollar experienced many evolutions. For over a century, the United States dollar was indeed backed by the precious metal, gold, even though dollar coins were often made from silver. Over the time that the United States dollar was backed by gold, it experienced major fluctuations in value in relation to the world market. Due to these fluctuations in value and the need to protect the…
