On the way into the office yesterday I read an interesting blog post from the Financial Times Money Supply blog on China's yuan revaluation, and I noted a chart they had included in it:

As industrial unrest continues in China, political economy continues to play a key role. The United States hopes to see an increase in demand of US commodities from China, and many speculate a worldwide increase in the value of agricultural commodities as China’s workers are empowered. Industrial unrest is not limited to China as workers of neighbouring developing countries seek more rights. This will affect the developing world’s consumptive power.
