The exchange rate of the renminbi against the US dollar rose only about 3% between June 2010 and the year’s end. According to an analysis used by some American economists and politicians, the low rate of currency appreciation, combined with Chinese export growth of 31% in 2010 over 2009, should have increased China’s trade surplus by a wide margin.
中国对此则不以为然，并一再拒绝了美国对人民币大幅升值的要求。人民币兑美元的汇率在2010年下半年只上升了约3%。照某些美国经济学家和政客的分析方法，低升值率再加上中国2010年出口31%的增长（对比2009年），中国的贸易顺差显然是进一步扩大了。
