Develop a brief country risk assessment.
Determine the political, economic, social, and capital risks
associated with doing business in China. What are the most
important factors to consider? Why?

currency exchange rate markets. Many economists believe that
keeping the Yuan pegged to the US dollar has caused it to be
undervalued by 30 to 50 percent. Discuss what impact a
revaluation of the Yuan might have on US multinationals doing
business there, on China’s exports, and on Chinese citizens’
standard of living. What impact would a revaluation have on
Chinese inflation and on purchasing power parity? Explain.
Your paper should be about 2,000 words.
