US insists that RMB has been enderestimated and should be raised to the appropriate price while China states that US should not hype the currency issues which is not the prime reason of the depression and unemployment and will also cause the degradation of the trade between China and US.
The conflict of RMB exchanging rate has been a long histroy and was aroused directly because of US’s midterm election. Meanwhile, US is worried about the growing power of China. China’s large trade surplus to US is regarded as a threat by US.

Facing it, China claimed that the rise of exchanging rate needed depend on domestic economic situation and the pressure would have inverse impact on the solution of the problem. http://www.chinadaily.com.cn/china/2010-09/15/content_11308554.htm
