<p>[QUOTE=&quot;InfleXion, post: 1622695, member: 29012&quot;]The value of a good doesn&#039;t change just because a currency gets weaker or stronger. It is the same amount of buying power out of pocket regardless. If the yuan strengthens then it can buy more goods for less cost. It can also buy more US dollars for less cost. The cost to create the part would go down with a stronger currency because the materials and energy cost less as the currency can also buy more of those.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Where I will agree with you is with wages though. The wages are not going to go down just because the currency gets stronger, so that is where the cost of the item will not go down to account for the stronger currency. So ideally those wages would have to drop accordingly or people would need to be laid off which is where I think you were going. A loss in wages wouldn&#039;t really hurt anything since the buying power increased, but the loss in jobs is another story, and that will depend entirely on the employer. Thank you for helping me come to a better conclusion.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
