The Chinese yuan is flexing its muscles 💪 in global markets, reaching its strongest position against the US dollar since September 2024. On Thursday (December 25, 2025), the onshore rate broke through 7.01 yuan per dollar while the offshore rate surged past 7 yuan – a milestone that’s got investors and economists buzzing 📈.
