Liu Mingkang, Chairman of the China Banking Regulatory Commission, November 15, 2009:

The continuous depreciation in the dollar, and the U.S. government’s indication, that in order to resume growth and maintain public confidence, it basically won’t raise interest rates for the coming 12 to 18 months, has led to massive dollar arbitrage speculation...[It has] seriously affected global asset prices, fueled speculation in stock and property markets, and created new, real and insurmount- able risks to the recovery of the global economy, especially emerging-market economies.
