China has the advantage of being a top-down communist system where they can oppress individuals and shut them up. US will have to address the bottom-up pains caused. Mainland Chinese are brainwashed, making China as a country powerful. Screw the communist crap

- The sharp weakening in the Chinese currency came after U.S. President Donald Trump unexpectedly announced fresh tariffs on Beijing last week that are set to take effect on Sept. 1.
- “I think this is clearly a retaliation that in the past China has refrained from doing,” Claudio Piron of Bank of America Merrill Lynch Global Research told CNBC on Monday.
China, which has historically controlled its currency, the yuan. allowed it to fall to its lowest level against the dollar in more than a decade. The onshore yuan broke above 7 per U.S. dollar and traded at 7.04.
“It appears to have decided that, given the increasingly dim prospects of a trade deal with the US, the boost to China’s export sector from currency depreciation is worth attracting the ire of the Trump,” Julian Evans-Pritchard, senior China economist at Capital Economics, wrote in a note. “The fact that they have now stopped defending 7.00 against the dollar suggests that they have all but abandoned hopes for a trade deal with the US.”
