一个充满偏执狂的政府竟然为了人民币贬值破7的心里关口匆忙宣布中国为汇率操纵国

‘Arbitrary Determination’  Eswar Prasad, an economist at Cornell University who worked in the IMF’s China division, said China still doesn’t meet Treasury’s technical criteria for manipulation. Countries are measured for manipulation based on their trade deficits with the U.S., their histories of intervention and their current-account balances.  “Treasury has made what seems like an arbitrary determination of currency manipulation since China hardly meets all of the relevant criteria and despite the dilution of those criteria over time,” Prasad said.  The Treasury statement cited the PBOC’s own statement on Monday as evidence that China was controlling its exchange rate. Stating that it would take measures to stabilize market expectations, and alluding to tools it had developed, was “an open acknowledgment by the PBOC that it has extensive experience manipulating its currency and remains prepared to do so on an ongoing basis,” the U.S. Treasury said.  https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2019-08-05/u-s-treasury-department-labels-china-a-currency-manipulator?srnd=markets-vp
