China's currency, the yuan, is facing significant pressure as the dollar surges, leading to the largest decline in emerging market currencies in two years. Policymakers in China are contemplating allowing the yuan to weaken further in 2025 to address challenges such as an ailing property sector and local government debt, while aiming for a GDP growth target of 5%.
