Borb,
I think it's too arrogant of others to decide on the "right" level of a currency. IT'S a matter of the chinese to determine their policy. Funnily nobody complained when Argentine or other countries made their dollar peg..

Funny also if you reflect the exact WORDING of your assertion: "many think it should be up vs. dollars"

if this means it will go up because China will stop the dollar peg ? I don'T think so. Or do some European whiners in the fiscal rank and file echo their mantra : China's currency is too low ? Funnyily, those european folks are exporting their problem (EUro "stabilitY" pact) to china and crying for China's help by revaluation..

Now China is not charity. They are in a BUSINESS to make money. They will do what profts them most. Note that I don'T advocate "devaluation". It just makes business sense for China to have a stable currency relationship with their main export client - the Dollarzone IMHO... why distort that ? Did you notice that the price stability in the current economic up cycle is coming from the disinflationary pressure from China ? I like to stay it this way..
