Because of the recent problems of manufacturing in China, the government made clear that they will watch more closely FOREX transactions, much like if they could aggravate the situation in China. Somehow, is it a way to say that FOREX current regulations aren't enough. Sure, FOREX is one of the market where the largest leverages is allowed I think, and meanwhile it got more and more limited, I think a limit of 50:1 or 25:1 is rather really big. However, it is not too easy to think it is not enough regulated? Is this often a market causing problems to the economy? And you, do you think the current regulations are not enough and more should be done?
As I understand it, China's goal is to make the yuan a reserve currency. It wouldn't surprise me if most public complaints are smokescreens masking desired outcomes. http://www.marketwatch.com/story/yuans-long-march-to-reserve-currency-status-2015-06-01 http://www.quora.com/What-would-happen-if-the-yuan-became-the-worlds-reserve-currency HTH. YMMV.
