A rising renminbi, priced against a basket of foreign currencies inluding the U.S. dollar, the euro and the yen, reflects the sentiment of currency traders who think that China will allow the currency to appreciate between 2 percent and 3 percent by December, and could reach up to 5 percent by late 2011.

1. No state, no money. Together, a state and its currency constitute, under capitalism, the means to manage the general interest of capital, transcending the particular interests of competing segments of capital.
