    Yuan trade?

    Hu would accept 25% import tarriff and a trade war with US rather than 10% YUAN appreciation. It is about politics: threatening publicly does not work with China. One more question is: US senate probably would not pass the 25% more tarriff bill. A trade war is not wanted by US congress. Two...
