About the CNY to USD rate
CNY to USD (Chinese Yuan to US Dollar) is the inverse of USD/CNY, used to convert yuan income or assets into dollars. The yuan has a daily reference rate set by the People's Bank of China; the onshore rate (CNY) trades within a band while the offshore rate (CNH) moves more. In recent years 1 dollar has been about 6.4–7.3 yuan, so 1 yuan is roughly 0.14–0.16 dollars.
