"Their conclusion was that China (the first country to devalue) might use the situation in Hong Kong to devalue again rather than deal with the chaos that a build-up in unemployment of bankruptcy of enterprises might bring."

Paul,

Are you sure about China being the first country to devalue its currency? In 1997, China's Renminbi has appreciated from 8.6 to 1 U.S. dollar to 8.3. Chinese top leaders from Jiang Zemin to Zhu Rong ji have vowed not to devalue their currency, arguing they have other means to increase their competitiveness. I read a lot of misinformation about Asian financial crisis here on SI. Just want to set the record straight. Have a good day.
