China and its 1.3 billion people have created enormous wealth for the world. It has the world's second largest GDP, which is fueled by strong domestic demand, an asset that protected the country from the impact of the global financial crisis and elevated its role in world economic recovery. Of course, China's GDP per capita is only a tenth of that of the U.S., ranking only the 102nd in the world. But the affluent classes here have astonished the world with their strong purchasing power. "Buy a house in the U.S., or settle in Australia": This used to be the standard advice circulating in some privileged groups, but now it's a common debate within the rapidly expanding middle class. A Chinese businessman spent US $33.2 million on a 500-square-meter apartment in April 2009, setting a new record on the New York real estate market.

China's trade surplus climbed in July to its highest level in 18 months, raising new questions about whether the country's currency remains undervalued despite government efforts to introduce a more flexible exchange rate. Chinese officials claim the pace of reform and appreciation is gradual and controllable, but nonetheless the United States Congress has pushed to pass measures penalizing Chinese exporters, especially as the November midterm elections approach. Yu Yongding, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences and former member of the Monetary Policy Committee of the People's Bank of China, recently spoke on currency reform and the trade balance between China and the U.S. in an interview with China Daily reporter Fu Yu.
