I don't get what the problem is with China 'abusing' the 'system' in its favor.
But the bill is fucking retarded, China damages its own economy by pegging their currency to the USD.
It essentially causes massive trade inequities with all of their trading partners, not just the US. For us, it comes out to roughly a quarter of a trillion dollars a year in their favor.
Not like Chinese people could afford most american goods anyway lol, gotta look at GDP per capita and shits.
Pegging the Yuan just hinders their own development, US dollar drops they drop too. Bretton Woods system is flawed.

It's the sort of speech that made relations with the EU public crumble in the last decade. The view around these parts is that the planet has seen enough of this sort of 'divinely sanctioned' US 'leadership'.
note; that's an observation, though I'll add that I don't like Romney myself either.
