Of course China should never have been allowed WTO membership until it had a convertible currency. Even more of course however is that it was the guarantee of a stable at a low exchange rate which made its entry so delicious for corporations. There were other strikes against its entry as well such as the total lack of openness of its capital markets but the currency thing was the big dog.
We have to hand it to the very smart people who surely understood the result would be the dollar recycling mechanism by which China cycled the dollars back to the US in the form of Treasury purchases and since China did not sterilize much that how it was a tremendous engine of monetary expansion. All of which Greenspan and Bernanke called China’s “excess savings”.
