A Chinese man takes a break on the track of an excavator at a construction site in Beijing September 2, 2003. U.S. business and labour groups say China keeps its currency the yuan, which has been pegged at around 8.28 to the dollar for the last eight years, artificially low to give its exports an unfair trade advantage. Senators and lobbyists have urged U.S. Treasury Secretary John Snow to demand changes in China's yuan policy when he visits on Tuesday. They say the yuan is undervalued by as much as 40 percent and has helped rob the United States of some 2.7 million manufacturing jobs. REUTERS/Guang Niu GN/TW
