I don't think China is pegged to the dollar. They just have a policy of lending their trade surpluses, and this counters the natural balance of trade. It keeps the citizens poor, but it strengthens the country, and it gives them enormous economic power. The US is the economic slave of Asia, and it will be interesting to see how they cope with that now that Asia is turning from the dollar.
