How To Sustain The Chinese Economic Miracle? The Risk of Unraveling The Global Rebalancing

This paper investigates China's role in creating global imbalances, and the related call for a massive renminbi revaluation as a (supposed) panacea to forestall their reemergence as the world economy recovers from severe crisis. The authors reject the prominence widely attributed to China as a cause of global imbalances and the exclusive focus on the renminbi-dollar exchange rate as misguided. And they emphasize that China's response to the global crisis has been exemplary.
