Now that the US companies have invested zillions in China....DUMBYA wants to start a trade war....his timing really is incredible.....and, well.....DUMB U.S. faces stiff Asian opposition to its call for flexible currency exchange policy Thursday September 4, 11:11 pm ET By Vijay Joshi, Associated Press Writer PHUKET, Thailand (AP) -- The United States faced stiff opposition in Asia to its demand for more flexible currency exchange policies, especially in China, as the finance ministers of Pacific rim countries prepared to wrap up a two-day meeting Friday. Ministers of the 21-member Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation forum debated the issue late Thursday with the United States demanding that China float its currency freely as soon as possible. U.S. Treasury Secretary John Snow said he wants this position to be reflected in a joint statement that the ministers were scheduled to issue later Friday. But several Asian members including Malaysia, Hong Kong, Taiwan have sprung to the defense of China, and insisted on a more neutral statement. CC
