I wonder why this change has been made and is it possible to have the price quoted in both US$ and RMB Many of us here in the country use this and I never know the current exchange rate fo the US$ because I don't use them at all and have no need to. I'm sure there are many others who would prefer to see prices in RMB. If we need a reference to our own currency it is pretty easy to do a simple conversion. Using US$ requires many of us doing a conversion twice rather than not at all or just once.

Anyway, your suggestion of using US$ and RMB is quite good, very convenient for more foreigners in China. I have told our sales department about your suggestion for reference. Millions thanks!! Truly Siva: )

I appreciate that you have a target market in the US and need to cater to them as much as possible but hopefully not exclusively.

Just price in RMB and give a link to a reputble exchange rate site. This is nuch better in the new environment that China is in where exchange rates are going to change. Then you won't have to keep updating the site to keep it current. Anywat it's the same as date formats, wights and distances: It's time the Yanks woke up to the rest of the world and recognise they are the ones out of step! let's be part of educating them !
