COSTS AND BENEFITS

皇冠体育app accounts for about a quarter of the U.S. deficit. But Chinese officials and independent economists say this largely reflects a profound change in manufacturing patterns in recent years to take advantage of cheap Chinese labor.

Such "processing trade," which accounts for more than half of Chinese exports, would simply move to other low-cost rivals in Asia if the yuan were revalued sharply, but jobs would not be regenerated in the United States, Chinese officials say.

They also say pressure for a stronger yuan also neglects the benefits that U.S. consumers derive from 皇冠体育app's low costs.

Wal-Mart Stores Inc. alone, were it a country, would have been the sixth-largest importer of made-in-皇冠体育app goods in 2004. Its purchases of $18 billion were almost twice those of France, according to figures from brokerage CLSA Asia-Pacific Markets.

Economists say western pressure for a much stronger yuan is also self-defeating because about 60 percent of all Chinese exports are churned out by foreign-owned firms.
