If so, what effect will this have on the price of gold in both Yuan and Dollars?

    I doubt they'll let it rise much anytime soon. The Chinese believe the Japanese damaged their economy by letting the yen rise following the Plaza Accord in the 1980s. Here's a summary from a Chinese perspective on the issue: Link.

    They have no great incentive to change anything. If they just keep on doing what they have been doing for another ten years, they will own the world.

    If the Yuan rises, won't that make trade dollars more expensive?image
