It's Not A Devaluation If The Ministry Of Truth Says So: China's "Style Council" Takes On Currency Trading

If these are the directives China's Ministry of Truth, in this case the China Daily "style council", gives out to editors to pretend that the Yuan devaluation is not, in fact, a devaluation we can't wait to find out just how long Steve Liesman will need to teach everyone in Beijing that QE, when the PBOC inevitably announces it, is really just a blessing in disguise for the middle class.

China doesn't want world reserve currency status.

 

They want to corner the market on the worldwide trinket business.

Meanwhle Tokyo has opened and we are getting the slow lift off in the e-mini. BoJ holds the low volume overnight until ECB can come in and put the hammer down.

They have learned much from Ministry of Truth of the American Empire.  Now they need to pass a "Patriot Act" after their big WWII military parade coming up.  Japan's leader wont be attending apparently.

People's Daily on-line editor and a VP were detained ostensibly for 'extortion through journalism'. Nothing to do with say the Tianjin blast or the stock market decline or yuan devaluation...

I'm having a laugh.

Devaluation implies government control.  Depreciation suggests a float.  It sounds like China is aiming at and will end up with some kind of float after if sells off enough of its USTs pretending to fight it.
