According to your numbers, what is the percentage appreciation of the yuan against the dollar in 2006?????

Go to xe.com. I watch daily, same as watching nymex or checking the weather.

Very wise of the Chinese; they set their currency in motion only enough to be able to point out it isn't, technically, fixed. Is it floating? Not compared to the rest of the world's floating currencies. Is it pegged? Technically no, since it is moving. Heavily managed to move just enough to shut up protectionists in the US? Working so far...

You got that exactly right.
