China's banking leaders have said that major banks with

estimated foreign currency assets of up to $ 80 billion


would face the risk of losing money if the yuan continues
to rise.
Pang Xiusheng, chief financial officer of China
Construction Bank, said that banks holding US dollar
assets would be hurt by the yuan's continued appreciation.
. Mr. Zhu Min, an assistant to the president of the Bank of
China (BOC), said BOC would closely monitor the
exchange rate of the yuan and its impact on financial
management. BOC's foreign currency reserves are
considered to be the largest among domestic banks, a long
time of concern for stock investors, especially as the yuan
continues to rise. Under China's currency control policy,
banks are forced to buy large amounts of foreign currency
from exports, adding to the value of the dollar and other
foreign currency assets. Producers in the United States
argue that undervalued yuan makes Chinese goods
cheaper to US exports and more expensive US goods to
China, damaging the US labor market. Last July, China
raised the yuan by 2% against the dollar and quit the
policy against the dollar. Since then, the yuan has gained
3.7% against the dollar. Last week, the yuan rose sharply,
rising to 123 points on Wednesday. At that time, the
official exchange rate was 7.9703 yuan / USD. The report
by the China Banking Regulatory Commission said that
when the renminbi appreciates, though slowly, banks will
increasingly find buyers of foreign currencies to share
risks through currency exchange or Other financial
instruments.
