When I see graphs showing the value of the AUD against the USD, they don't say "The US dollar buys 1.42 Australian dollars, up from yesterday's value of 1.41 Australian dollars." They say "The Australian dollar buys 0.70 US dollars, down from yesterday's value of 0.71 US dollars."
Why not do the same for the yuan? "The yuan buys 0.14 US dollars, down from 0.15 yesterday."
I'm just guessing here, but a move from .14 to .15 is a 7% change. You have to start going to a third decimal place to track more granular changes. Plus the Chinese peg their currency in terms of...

Plus the Chinese peg their currency in terms of how many Yuan buys a dollar, and 7 used to be the magic number.
Lastly, this is also how they report on bonds. They will say the yield decreased, but then show a graph with an increase in the bond price. So maybe they just like confusing us laymen.

Stocks are nonetheless being impacted by this latest escalation, starting with Asia and Oceania. New Zealand is for instance still seeing a 2 percent decline despite very encouraging national employment figures. We are seeing similar or worse declines across Japan, Korea with Australia having less severe numbers at the time of writing. We'll see what the impact is on Chinese and European stocks later.

A spokesperson from China's Ministry of Commerce said in a statement that although China does not want a fight, the country "will fight if necessary." The official said that China will have to "take necessary countermeasures," but did not explain what that retaliation will be.

Interesting times indeed.
It's probably covered in at least one of the articles you linked, but earlier today, China's Commerce Ministry also announced that Chinese companies have completely stopped buying all U.S. agricultural products now.
seems exceedingly likely that the plunge will continue tomorrow unabated when US stocks open again.
