Great job for newbie.    But, still cannot elaborate why the world are playing currency wars.
1) Boost competitive EXPORTS and TOURISM  business.
2) Ppls will save more money in Bank, as they will HOLD any purchase other than basic need.
    If you want to purchase new smartphone and with weaker currency, you want hold and delay the plan.
    Hence, more cashflow in hand.

Could China's Yuan Devaluation Spark a New Financial Crisis?

The yuan will fall to 6.5 against the dollar by the end of this year and 6.9 at the end of 2016, bringing it close to a 10 percent depreciation, according to Bank of America Merrill Lynch.
Jen estimates that a 10 percent depreciation in the yuan will create 5 to 20 percent moves in the rest of Asia.
In Asia, Vietnam, Thailand, South Korea and Malaysia are more vulnerable to the devaluation, while in Europe Hungary and Poland are at risk and Turkey may suffer the most, according to Lombard Street Research economist Shweta Singh in London.
