Dollar Rally Forces China Rebalancing

This article report on several companies abandoning the export market. These firms gave up on exports months ago, but the latest U.S. dollar rally will push even more firms out of exports and into domestic production. This is a trend that stretches back to 2010, when the end of dollar weakness (which the yuan still largely tracks) added another cost on top of rising resource and labor prices. On the demand side, the developed economies are stagnant.
