Doesn't China currently address this by having two currencies, with one dedicated to offshore use?


China only has one currency, the renminbi or yuan. There are capital controls so it isn't fully traded on international markets. It has only been internationally traded since 2015, and I think there were various schemes before that.


Aren't CNY and CNH effectively two different currencies, despite having the same name and being somewhat linked?


I hadn't noticed that. I guess that is how they manage the capital controls. It sounds like they are supposed to be the same internally but that there is a spread. That seems like it could be a weakness.


Perhaps? I can't imagine that either could take the loss of production capacity the way the US has. The global inflation of product prices alone is staggering to consider.
