TEHRAN, October 09 - China's government has promised not to weaken its currency to boost exports and rejected U.S. concern about the sagging yuan as groundless and irresponsible.
TEHRAN, Young Journalists Club (YJC) - A foreign ministry spokesman, Lu Kang, said Tuesday that Beijing has no intention of using "competitive devaluation" to make exports less expensive during a tariff fight with Washington.
A U.S. official told reporters in Washington the Trump administration is concerned about the weakening yuan.
The tightly controlled Chinese currency fell to a 22-month low of 6.93 to the dollar on Monday before recovering slightly on Tuesday.
Lu said the U.S. official's comments were "groundless speculation and irresponsible."
