Didn't know you had to do that....

"China called on US multinationals on Tuesday to lobby the Obama administration against taking protectionist measures over the Chinese currency, just as attitudes towards China appear to be hardening in the US Congress.

Yao Jian, a spokesman at the Chinese commerce ministry, said that some companies had already been lobbying against recent restrictions on Chinese imports to the US and he hoped this would increase."

[caveat on #2 -which recent restrictions? Export Controls? Buy America? Certain bills pending in Congress - many of which won't see the light of day? notice he didn't say they were lobbying on currency]
