U.S. keeps China, Japan, Thailand, 7 others on currency watchlist

WASHINGTON - The U.S. Treasury Department said Thursday that China, Japan, Thailand and seven other major trading partners remain on a watchlist that Washington monitors for potentially unfair foreign exchange practices.

In its biannual report to Congress, the department did not designate any trading partner as a currency manipulator, which could result in the imposition of U.S. sanctions.
