as long as the Chinese yuan remains pegged to USDollar...

US will continue to import, totally out of control

Fed Monetization will be useless, as we build up the Chinese economy with a massive $30-40B/yr surplus

non-Chinese Asians will see their mfg base crumble
(already happening in Japan)

a 15% further USDollar drop wont affect China one bit
but non-Chinese Asian currencies might rise in the process
if that happens, then Chinese competitive position improves even more so, crippling Korea, Taiwan, and other Tigers more
this will get ugly

yes, US and European mfrs will be hurt more also

I BELIEVE BY THE END OF 2003, CHINA WILL BE THE BIGGEST INTERNATIONAL STORY OUTSIDE THE TERRORISM AXIS REALM
it will emerge into a grand geopolitical debate and conflict

it will highlight the backfired insanity behind shedding our mfg base to Asia

so what if our import costs come down?
our engines of internal wealth production are gone!!!
we are now creating jobs in China
our internal mechanisms to support the USDollar decline are gone!!!
the decline cannot be stopped from American mechanisms now

this is the formula dynamic for erosion of American wealth, prestige, and power
we invite a USDollar freefall, for numerous reasons

maybe DougAK would like to chime in with some deep thoughts
