The PBOC started setting daily central parity rates on Jan 4, 2007.

On July 21, 2005, China switched to a managed-float formula against a basket of currencies, weakening the yuan's peg to the dollar.

Since March 17, 2014, the yuan has been allowed to move 2% in a range on either side of the daily fixing against the dollar.
