The exchange rate from US Dollars to Chinese Yuan (USD to CNY) specifies the value of the dollar in Mainland China. The currency is officially named the Renminbi ("people's currency"), while the unit of account is the Yuan. China manages its currency through a "managed float" peg, where the People's Bank of China (PBOC) sets a daily reference rate and allows the yuan to trade within a limited band.

To convert US Dollars (USD) to Chinese Yuan (CNY), multiply the USD amount by the current exchange rate. For example, if the rate is 7.23 yuan per dollar, converting $150 USD would be:

$150 USD × 7.23 = 1,084.50 CNY

1,000 CNY ÷ 7.23 = $138.31 USD

What is the difference between CNY and CNH?

CNY represents the onshore Chinese Yuan, which trades inside mainland China and is heavily regulated by the PBOC. CNH represents the offshore Chinese Yuan, which trades in international markets like Hong Kong and Singapore and is subject to free market trading with less PBOC intervention. The two trade at slightly different rates, though they remain closely linked.
