Question 2

  B) Competitors feared that the declining value of the dollar would continue to make Chinese goods more expensive.
  C) Because the yuan was overvalued at the pegged exchange rate, competing firms from other countries feared that abandoning the peg would lead to an increase in Chinese exports.
