That news has weakened the overseas Chinese currency versus the dollar. The USD/CNH has lifted back above 7.27 today on the back of that data. This in turn has helped to lift the USD/JPY too. Earlier today the USD/JPY fell to 155.29, from a close on Friday at 156.00. It has since lifted back to a high a short while ago, at 156.25.
