Disagreements over currency exchange rates, copyright piracy, and banking regulations have increased the chances of a trade war between China and the US.

Background

China has a fixed exchange rate, which have led many Americans to accuse China of "dumping" products at low prices into the American Economy, damaging American jobs.
