But Japanese currency is called “yen“.The Renminbi, Chinas legal tender, is issued and controlled solely by the Peoples Bank of China.

15、 The exchange rates of the Renminbi are decided by the Peoples Bank of China and issued by the State Administration of Exchange Control. China operates foreign exchange in a unified way, with the State Administration of Exchange Control exercising the functions and powers of exchange control.Before

16、1994, the Chinese government managed the system as a dual-track foreign-exchange system. The dual-track system provided for two government-approved exchange rates, one was the official exchange rate, the other was the swap-market rate.

20、g that period, about 80 % of the hard-currency transactions in this country took place in the swap market. The swap rate was 8.7 RMB per dollar. The dual-track foreign exchange system was not favorable to Chinas international trade and affected Chinas application for joining the WTO. So in 1994 the
