Pelosi's Taiwan trip is another knock to China's yuan

China's yuan has fared better than many other major currencies this year. It's shed 6.5% against the US dollar, holding its ground as the greenback has gone on a breakneck rally. The euro, the British pound and South Korea's won have all dropped more than 10%, while Japan's yen has plunged nearly 16%.
