Redrawing Export Partners and Effects on China
The weakening of the Japanese yen compared to the Chinese yuan is leading to a shift in export partners, with the US potentially moving towards buying more from Japan than China.

This change may establish a new regime where Japan becomes a stronger export powerhouse relative to China. The scenario could prompt the US to devalue the dollar and rebuild its manufacturing capacity.
