To authorize appropriate action if the negotiations with the People’s Republic 
of China regarding China’s undervalued currency and currency manipula-
tion are not successful. 
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES 
OCTOBER 21, 2003
Mrs. MYRICK (for herself and Mr. SPRATT) introduced the following bill; 
which was referred to the Committee on Ways and Means 
A BILL 
To authorize appropriate action if the negotiations with the 
People’s Republic of China regarding China’s under-
valued currency and currency manipulation are not suc-
cessful.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representa-
tives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, 
SECTION 1. FINDINGS. 
Congress makes the following findings: 
(1) The currency of the People’s Republic of 
China, the yuan, is artificially pegged at a level sig-
nificantly below its market value. Economists esti-
mate the yuan to be undervalued by between 15 per-
cent and 40 percent or an average of 27.5 percent. 
(2) The undervaluation of the yuan makes ex-
ports from the People’s Republic of China less ex-
pensive for foreign consumers and makes foreign 
products more expensive for Chinese consumers. The 
effective result is a significant subsidization of Chi-
na’s exports and a virtual tariff on foreign imports, 
leading the People’s Republic of China to enjoy sig-
nificant trade surpluses with its international trad-
ing partners. The United States trade deficit with 
China has widened from $57,000,000,000 in 1998 
to $103,000,000,000 in 2002, resulting in an aggre-
gate deficit with China of over $396,000,000,000 for 
that 5-year period. 
(3) China’s undervalued currency and the 
United States trade deficit with the People’s Repub-
lic of China is contributing to significant United 
States job losses and harming United States busi-
nesses. In particular, the United States manufac-
turing sector has lost over 2,600,000 jobs since 
March 2001, which accounts for approximately 90 
percent of the total United States job losses. 
(4) The Government of the People’s Republic of 
China has intervened in the foreign exchange mar-
kets to hold the value of the yuan within an artificial 
trading range. China’s foreign reserves are estimated 
to be over $345,000,000,000 as of June 2003, and 
have increased at a level higher than that of any 
other country. 
(5) China’s undervalued currency and the Chi-
nese Government’s intervention in the value of its 
currency violates the spirit and letter of the world 
trading system of which the People’s Republic of 
China is now a member. 
(6) The Government of the People’s Republic of 
China has failed to promptly address concerns raised 
by the United States and the international commu-
nity regarding the value of its currency. 
(7) Article XXI of the GATT 1994 (as defined 
in section 2(1)(B) of the Uruguay Round Agree-
ments Act (19 U.S.C. 3501(1)(B)) allows a member 
of the World Trade Organization to take any action 
which it considers necessary for the protection of its 
essential security interests. Protecting the United 
States manufacturing sector is essential to the secu-
rity interests of the United States.
