## Resource

In this episode, Lucas and Luna examine how the yuan's slide past 6.79 per dollar is quietly reshaping China's export playbook. They focus on a specific case: Chinese steel exporters who are using the weaker currency to undercut global rivals while avoiding anti-dumping tariffs. Lucas breaks down the yuan's 10% decline against the dollar over the past year and explains why Beijing isn't fighting the depreciation. Meanwhile, Luna points out that Chinese solar panel makers are also benefiting, with export volumes up 15% in the last quarter alone. The hosts discuss how this strategy creates tension with the US and Europe, which accuse China of exporting deflation. They also touch on the broader implications for Chinese consumer demand and the yuan's role as a reserve currency. The episode grounds the conversation in real data, including the yuan's current level and the latest trade balance figures. #YuanDepreciation #ChineseExports #SteelTariffs #SolarExports #TradeWar #DeflationExports #CurrencyWar #ChinaEconomy #PBOC #USChinaTrade #ExportStrategy #Renminbi #TradeBalance #Manufacturing #Economics #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #ChinaEconomyPodcast Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
