The economist Jeffrey Frankel has called currency manipulation a chimera, declaring that “linking efforts to prevent currency manipulation to trade agreements has always been a bad idea, and it still is.” He is right.
经济学家杰弗里·弗兰克尔（Jeffrey Frankel）将货币操纵称为“喀迈拉”（chimera），认为“将阻止货币操纵的措施与贸易协定挂钩过去一直是、现在也是坏主意。”他是正确的。这样做违背了浮动汇率机制最根本的规则：每个经济体都可以制定——和追求——自身的货币政策目标。
