According to Peter Schiff, President of Euro Pacific Capital, “the only way China can stop its inflation problem is to stop importing it from us [the U.S.], which means … they have to let their currency rise”. If that happens, “the U.S. had better brace itself,” says Schiff (via Yahoo Finance – Tech Ticker).

“It will unleash an inflationary nightmare here in the United States. As the Chinese currency increases in strength, the dollar must decrease. And, so Americans [would] experience higher prices, falling purchasing power and a lower standard of living.”
