For nearly a decade, Beijing has tied its currency tightly to the US dollar and kept it from trading in global markets _ a strategy that brought stability and helped shield China from the 1997 Asian financial crisis. Premier Wen Jiabao said on July 5 that China will keep the exchange rate of yuan stable in the coming months. [AP]
