This is a very salient point and I'm surprised it was down-voted (it might be because your point #2 could be perceived as being needlessly provocative).
One has to wonder why the U.S refuses to brand China a currency manipulator [1]. You have already stated the answer, but it's worth repeating: it is in the best interest of U.S corporations importing goods from China for the Yuan to be artificially weak. As always, the truth depends on whether one stands to benefit from it or not.
Rest assured that the moment this is not longer the case, the U.S won't hesitate to point the finger and dole out punishment accordingly.
