        <h2>From 7.5 USDCNY to 7.75 USDCNY</h2>
        <p><strong>Pros:</strong></p>
        <ul>
            <li>Modest increase in export volumes, making Chinese exports more attractive to foreign buyers.</li>

        <ul>
            <li>Higher import costs could affect businesses that rely heavily on imported components.</li>
            <li>Minor inflationary pressure could erode real purchasing power for consumers.</li>
