A strong Yuan? Hey we need a brand new 150 million middle class with purchasing power which means:

more imports of beef, orange juice, Cocoa for chocolate, fruits etc. Commodities prices will increase and we will be happy to supply the Chinese!!!

The Chinese won't spend their money buying bonds but feeding the appetite of this new middle class!

We are already ready.

The plans exist already: A road from Western Brazil (the Chinese farm) towards Peru where the goods will shipped to China thus bypassing Panama Canal.

30% Yuan appreciation seems about right.

More Chinese going abroad for travel.

you overlook one China balancing component -- GOLD
in spring, Chinese leaders mentioned balancing of three reserve assets
USTBonds, EuroBonds, Gold

I agree in bilateral balance of dollar-euro
except that they have a current extreme imbalance in USTBonds now, and have for a few years, which is only recently being addressed
but I believe the real issue is gold CB accumulation

how is Chinese oil production ramping these years?
thanks, jim
