this just in my e-mail box from arch conservative anti commie usa good old boy working for taiwan tycoon as all around operation and money manager and one who dines with many on capitol hill, andi quote:

Was just out with Dr. Robert Mundell last week and he puts the chances of the Chinese taking any sort of action as unlikely. China views everything through the prism of stability of the regime. They see Indonesia as the model for currency problems they want to avoid. Currency instability and economic trouble equals regime change.

The 1989 Tian. Square uprisings are taught to policy makers in China as a failure of economic policy. Which, when you look back at 1989-1991 growth, near 4-6%, there is a case to be made that this was an economic slowdown. Double digit is what China needs. Certainly the official line in HKG on the 2003 demonstrations is that it was economic related, which is partially correct.

China is still ruled by a regime that values it's place at the top more than any other goal. Starting a currency war, especially less than a year before the 2008 Oylmpics, is not in any way in the interest of stability. The Chinese also understand the US political system, they are just doing a little chest pumping to let America know they are paying attention. But they know Bush has a veto on this, and will use it.

**ONLY one thing that I think is emerging, the days when the US said "Boo" and everyone got scared are over. The morons in Washington don't know this yet, but I think the rest of the world gets it..
