Trump advocates weaker dollar, Chinese economists debate yuan strength

Donald Trump has been talking about wanting a weaker dollar.

Some people in China think he might have a point.

China's leader, Xi Jinping, has always believed that China's strength comes from making things, like factories do.

But now, some important economists in China are saying that having a strong currency, like the dollar or the old British pound, could be even better.

They think if the yuan, China's money, gets stronger, it could help people buy more things and make the economy better.

It's like having a stronger piggy bank that makes everything more valuable.
