Background
currency manipulators 货币操纵国:某国通过人为地将人民币兑美元汇率保持在低水平,以扩大出口。
贸易顺差:所谓贸易顺差是指在特定年度一国出口贸易总额大于进口贸易总额,又称“出超”.表示该国当年对外贸易处于有利地位。贸易顺差的大小在很大程度上反映一国在特定年份对外贸易活动状况。与此同时,大量外汇盈余通常会致使一国市场上本币投放量随之增长,因而很可能引起通货膨胀压力,不利于国民经济持续、健康发展。
资本流失:指发展中国家为发展经济从国外借贷的资金被政客贪污而存在国外。
外汇储备:外汇储备(Foreign Exchange Reserve),又称为外汇存底,指为了应付国际支付的需要,各国的中央银行及其他政府机构所集中掌握的外汇资产。
外汇储备的具体形式是:政府在国外的短期存款或其他可以在国外兑现的支付手段,如外国有价证券,外国银行的支票、期票、外币汇票等。主要用于清偿国际收支逆差,以及干预外汇市场以维持该国货币的汇率。
倾销:If a firm or company dumps goods, itsells large quantities of them at prices far below their real value, usually inanother country, in order to gain a bigger market share or to keep prices highin the home market.
