“But if sweet reason won’t work, what’s the alterna- tive? In 1971 the United States dealt with a similar but much less severe problem of foreign undervalu- ation by imposing a temporary 10 percent surcharge on imports, which was removed a few months later after Germany, Japan and other nations raised the dollar value of their currencies. At this point, it’s hard to see China changing its policies unless faced with the threat of similar action — except that this time the surcharge would have to be much larger, say 25 percent. I don’t propose this turn to policy hardball

lightly. But Chinese currency policy is adding mate- rially to the world’s economic problems at a time when those problems are already very severe. It’s time to take a stand.”
