The yuan has fallen to 7.14 against the dollar, the lowest since the beginning of 2008 in Asian trading.

In recent weeks, the People's Bank of China has been steadily depreciating the yuan, setting it at 7.057 against the dollar. Allowing the yuan to depreciate makes Chinese exports cheaper and offsets some of the burden of US punitive duties.

The yuan crossed the minimum threshold of 7.0 against the dollar earlier in August, days after the United States announced plans to impose new tariffs on Chinese goods from September 1. The drop from the 7.0 threshold prompted Washington to accuse Beijing of "currency manipulation", but the Chinese central bank "firmly opposed" the designation. LINK
