From what I understand this is because the renminbi is not a convertible currency*. Wether you're american, russian or chinese you can't easily buy and sell yuan on forex exchange markets. What this means is that when China accumulates dollars, it invests those abroad (historically the US, now not so much for obvious reasons). This drives up the demand for dollars, and means that China's trade surplus does not drive up the demand for yuan.

The Dredge Tank. For posting all the low tier reactionary bullshit that you can't post anywhere else. Got some bullshit from Reddit with 2 upvotes and want to share, post it here.

This community was created with the purpose that Rule 8 fans will just block it.

The rules are literally The Dunk Tank's rules, just without rule 8.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.
