While I am not sure whether the Chinese yuan has appreciated by more than 30% against the US dollar since 2008 (I cannot produce that results using some data from the internet), it is a fact that it has appreciated. The issue is not just the appreciation against dollar, but also the appreciation of the US dollar against virtually all major currencies at the same time. The following table shows the appreciation of the US dollar since 11/09/2008.
