中国货币对美元汇率上升 (Chinese Currency Rises Against Dollar)

中国将人民币的汇率第一次调整到不到八元人民币兑换一美元的水平。上海市场星期一的交易中，人民币攀升到自去年汇率调整以来的最高点。

北京10个月前取消了人民币和美元长达11年的挂钩，允许人民币升值2%。从那以后，人民币缓慢升值。但是，美国财政部官员依然对中国的改革步伐抱有微词。 美国政府上星期的一份报告没有把中国定为货币操纵国，但是对中国人民币汇率持批评态度的人士认为，人民币被低估了大约20%到40%。

China has adjusted its currency's value for the first time below an exchange rate of eight yuan to the U.S. dollar. Trading in Shanghai began Monday with the yuan at its highest level since last year's revaluation of the currency.

Beijing scrapped the yuan's 11-year peg to the dollar 10 months ago and allowed the currency to rise by two percent. The yuan has appreciated slowly since then, but U.S. Treasury officials have complained about the pace of China's reforms. A U.S. government report last week stopped short of labeling China a currency manipulator, but critics of China's foreign-exchange policies say the yuan is undervalued by 20 to 40 percent.
