China’s currency exchange rate has long been a prickly subject evoking strong passions within and outside the country, both in favour of and against the argument that it needs to be revalued. China maintained a virtual US dollar peg for more than a decade until mid-2005, prompting complaints from its major trading partners that Chinese exporters held an unfair pricing advantage. With world economy showing recovery, Chinese financial authorities should be pressured to provide more freedom in currency movement.

It is purely the internal matter of China. We as an outsider can look at the things from our own perspective. We don't know the financial details of China. What we about China is what China wants us to know. So expressing our views on a matter in which we don't have the full information is not right. Yes this is right that their exporters are getting an unfair advantage. Everybody is banging their heads to the wall to know how China is able to produce things cheaper than them. But still we can not comment on how and why China should manage their currency.

I strongly agree.It is unfair and unethical to control a currency to boost trade.

This would not augur well in the long run.

The way Japan went everyone has to learn the lesson that on lower exchange rates it is counterproductive for such countries in the long run. Reason being high local inflation which will spur up asset prices and citizen needing to meet contingencies will invest in them by borrowing. Then the market stagnates and price fall, financial institutions call for their money and the price busts sending the economy into a downward spiral.

Moreover at the same time if the oil prices go up, then the economy is in double whamy and the only recourse is revalueing the currency which could have been done in the first place making life easier for citizen in running their daily lives and avoiding such troubles.

I feel if the Chinese don't learn the lesson from the Japanese then they will also in the long run will be forced to face the same consequences as the Japanese.

The better option for them is to develope the whole country and create a big local market rather depend entirely on trade.

An artificial exchange rate was vital in the growth of Chinese economy, flooding world markets with cheap Chinese goods. Especially this is troubling us, devaluing dollar turning otiose.

Earlier when japan tried the same with us, what followed was embargo. Yes, we should force china to have more flexibility in it’s exchange rate.

But I have also seen reports though supporting de pegging, recommends a phased transition with reference to us. With capital inflows also between china and us, the relative effect should also be considered. May be this and huge dollar reserves of china are affecting the bargaining power of us.

From India’s point of view, it will have a positive impact on capital inflows.

Obviously, China's currency has to be revalued as it creates, unfavour of Chinese exports in the global market.

China’s rapid economic growth is highly export-dependent than it’s own internal consumptions. As a result, their economy has kind of become a function of export which they control with their pegged-currency !...this dependency makes them vulnerable in the process.

It is absolutely the perogative of China - its Central Bank,  how they manage their F-ex rate and economy. Westerern lobby may not influence them as they are more dominant now than ever.

Look, China grew absolutely of their own without the help from "western lobby". For a long period of time, they kept themselves isolated ( Iron Curtain) and were preparing themselves.

International capital flew to China to explore  strength of China's economy. Now and then, owners of such capital ( and their Bosses in the Foreign Policy of respective country) try to manipulate the economic decessions of China.

Ultimately, China might do what is beneficial for them.
