本的泡沫已经非常严重了，属于病入膏肓了。这个泡沫本身就是因为日元汇率过
低造成的。就算没有广场协议，这个泡沫也早晚会破掉，后果是否就比被逼升值
捅破这个泡沫强多少那也未必。
日本泡沫破裂后的十年不振，是日本中央银行不肯让商业银行破产，而一直采用
Quantitative Easing 造成大量的 zombie banks 的后果。美国现在正在重蹈日

中国不能重走日本的老路，靠 RMB 低利率制造和维持这个大泡沫。泡沫破得越早
对长久的损害就越小，所以 RMB 升值才是应该做的事情。
至于说什么美国不会干对中国好的事情，这种论调就很无聊了。好不好应该有自

China Seems Set to Loosen Hold on Its Currency
HONG KONG - The Chinese government is preparing to announce in the coming
days that it will allow its currency to strengthen slightly and vary more
from day to day, people with knowledge of the emerging consensus in Beijing
said on Thursday. The move would help ease tension with the Obama
administration about the United States’ huge trade deficit with China. |
