Since much of the value-added of these goods comes from parts and components produced in Japan, the Republic of Korea, and other East Asian supply chain countries, it is important to control for exchange rate changes in these countries. Employing dynamic ordinary least squares, or DOLS, techniques and quarterly data, this paper finds that exchange rate appreciations across supply chain countries would cause a much larger drop in processed exports than a unilateral appreciation of the yuan.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>China has been arguing that America&#8217;s use of the full value of Chinese exports, rather than figures adjusted to reflect China&#8217;s value-added, vastly overstates the extent of the Chinese current account surplus.
