[Could the timing be any more cynical?] “US President Barack Obama’s ambassador to China renewed calls Thursday for Beijing to let its currency appreciate further after Republican challenger Mitt Romney pressed for a harder line.

The yuan has risen some 30 percent since 2005 when China loosened its grip on it.”
