Yuan is strong because it is manipulated by the government that controls 1.6b people in a global market. But it is not sustainable because the bill printing machine is now obviously out of control.

1.344b is not quite 1.6b.

Edit: why the downvote? The population of China is 1.344 billion people. Where does the 1.6 come from?
