shouldn't higher yuan eventually mean higher inflation in US thru imports

In a vacuum, yes.
But we are not in a vacuum.
Look at prices of goods from China vs input (raw materials prices). Yes prises are up, but 200%? No, of course not.

Prices can only rise above peoples ability or willingness to pay for them. Some things are inelastic (gasoline), but most things are not.

<shouldn't higher yuan eventually mean higher inflation in US thru imports//> Yes -- we are witnessing the end of cheap oil, cheap money and cheap labor. In a word we are witnessing the end of the 'strong' dollar.
