The country also feels threatened by calls - most prominently made by U.S. President Barack Obama - for the renminbi to better reflect market fundamentals. In the past, U.S. Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner has outright accused China of manipulating the renminbi and most (though not all) economists...
