AI demand reduces China's urgency to weaken yuan despite economic fragility

Summary
The article discusses how China's growing AI industry and global demand for its AI capabilities are making the country less concerned about a stronger yuan. Despite the yuan reaching its strongest level since 2023 and the economy showing fragility, policymakers have shown little urgency to intervene, partly because the appetite for AI reduces China's reliance on traditional export-driven growth models.
