US would oppose China's IMF vote if its currency practices are unfair.
This bill would require the U.S. to oppose China gaining more voting power at the International Monetary Fund (IMF) if China uses unfair currency practices. The US Treasury would review China's financial practices. It would vote against them if they don't meet transparency rules, unless the President waives this. These rules would last for seven years.
Today, the U.S. government does not have a specific rule to oppose China's increased voting power at the International Monetary Fund based on its currency practices. If this bill becomes law, the Treasury Secretary would have to check China's currency transparency and practices. If China doesn't meet the rules, the U.S. would vote against giving China more power at the IMF, unless the President decides it's in the national interest to allow it.
