Chinese Currency

   The Chinese currency is pegged to the US Dollar. How does that work? If it's so good, why don't all countries peg their currencies to the US dollar?
   Which way would the Chinese currency go, if allowed to float? Rise against dollar, by how much? How does this endanger Chinese state banks and loans?
   Chinese save 45% of their income
   Growth in fixed asset spendig 43%. Inflation bubble % chance?
   40-50% of loans non-performing
   Gresham's Law - bad money drives out good. I haven't heard this used in this currency situation. Why not? Is there any meaning to be twisted out of it in this case?
   Seems clear that Chinese wages will increase and the US dollar will go down.
   How long does it take for equilibrium to be established? What are lag times? Equations first, estimates of variables second, answers/estimates third.
