Is the Chinese exchange-rate regime “WTO-legal”?

Chapter 12 in The Legal and Economic Analysis of the WTO/FTA System, 2016, pp 287-292 from World Scientific Publishing Co. Pte. Ltd.

Abstract: How might the US take action through the WTO over China's alleged currency manipulation? This paper analyses three potential legal issues: legality of exchange-rate policy under the GATT rules, legality under the subsidy rules and feasibility of non-violation complaints. It concludes that any WTO resolution will be difficult to achieve because the organisation is not designed to deal with alleged exchange-rate manipulation.
