When rest of the Asia can provide better quality goods,, lot cheaper,, China loses the competitive edge,,

As of now,, Chinese central banks has been subsidising their steel and other heavy inductries,with borrowed money which does not exist,,,
By devaluing,, they hope to bring the buyers back..

In which event further erosion on other Asian currencies,, and the world market will go into sell off..

Devaluation makes China competitive. When nearly every nation in the region has devalued their currency, China's export goods and services becomes expensive in comparison. The pressure is on for them to devalue to keep from losing ground in the export market.
