A rising Yuan would also help the situation so they could import food more easily when shortages appeared in certain foods.

Their inflation is caused by the artificially weak currency. They also import a lot of oil.

"it’s the bottom of the income scale that’s heavily gaining in income. Minimum wage requirements in Guangdong province (where 20% of China’s exports are made) are up - again."
