As the Group of Seven meets in Évian, France, beginning June 15, French President Emmanuel Macron has pushed to bring about a broad recognition that rising trade imbalances are a global economic problem. But G-7 leaders will nevertheless likely ignore one of the most important sources of those imbalances: the undervaluation of the currencies of Asia’s large economies, especially China’s.This is unfortunate. There is a growing consensus that Asia’s trade surplus has grown too big.
