The central parity rate of the Chinese currency renminbi, or the yuan, weakened 30 pips to 6.7180 against the U.S. dollar Wednesday, according to the China Foreign Exchange Trade System.
In China's spot foreign exchange market, the yuan is allowed to rise or fall by two percent from the central parity rate each trading day.
The central parity rate of the yuan against the U.S. dollar is based on a weighted average of prices offered by market makers before the opening of the interbank market each business day.

China urges the European Parliament to act prudently on the Taiwan question, said Zhu Fenglian, spokeswoman for the State Council Taiwan Affairs Office, at a press conference in Beijing on Wednesday.
Zhu made the statement in response to a media inquiry on the relevant remarks made by Taiwan leader Lai Ching-te during his recent meeting with a cross-parliamentary group from Europe.
"There is but one China in the world. Taiwan is an inalienable part of China's territory. China strongly opposes official interaction of any form between China's Taiwan region and countries that have diplomatic relations with China. We urge certain individuals within the European Parliament to strictly abide by the one-China principle and to be prudent on the Taiwan question. The Democratic Progressive Party authorities, colluding with some Western politicians, have attacked and smeared the Chinese mainland and incited antagonism and confrontation across the Taiwan Strait, once again exposing their disgraceful attempts of soliciting external support to seek Taiwan secession," she said.
