b. Explain how the Chinese government can achieve the new current account target through a permanent change in monetary policy using the AA-DD-XX diagram to show what happens to output, the spot exchange rate, and the real exchange rate. What are the short and long run effects? Will China be able to maintain the new current account target in both the long and short run? (7 points)
