BEIJING (Reuters) - China's trade balance could turn to a deficit in March, commerce minister Chen Deming said on Sunday, adding that adjustments to the yuan's value would not by itself resolve global trade imbalances.
Chen, speaking at the China High Level Development Forum, said that in the three years from 2005 to 2008, the yuan had appreciated by more than 20 percent while the trade surplus increased.
In 2009, he added, the yuan was steady but the trade surplus fell by 34 percent.
"A country's currency appreciation is very limited in helping to rebalance global trade," he said. "I personally expect that China could possibly have a trade deficit in March."

Actually, China is going to suffer from rising inflation. Raising the value of the Yuan is within their interest.
Actually,China’s exchange rate policy is the same as the U.S. ,yuan is not devalued compare with the dollar.
whoevy
Wow, you are a rocket scientist. We all know the Yuan is pegged to the dollar.
Just because a Communist Party Boss says something, doesn’t mean it is true!!!
I don’t believe a single word that comes out of the mouth of a single Chinese authority.
They are all brainwashed liars!
