Currency Rate

I am going to purchase US$ 1000 this morning, so I checked the currency exchange rate of US$ to CNY (Chinese Money) just now. It remains high as 7.30 from the Dollar to CNY.

I am not surprised at the rate. The rate from CNY to the US Dollar has fluctuated in the past few years. At the first dropping, we were afraid CNY would devalue to 7, 8, and even to 10. Later, as I discussed with my friends and made a consensus that CNY wouldn't fall below 7.35.

I made a screenshot of the line graph, in which can be seen that beginning from February this year, the US$ has been on an upward trend. While I believe the CNY rate can be controlled by the government. However, I also deem it's impossible that CNY will have the capability to challenge US$ in the next 20 years.

You use "going to" when you're 100% sure you're going to do something. But let's say the exchange rate was horrendous, then you might have changed your mind and not have gotten your money exchanged. Hence, the change from "going to" to "planning to." I also reformatted the money expressions to reflect the usage I see more often.

The rate fromexchange rate between CNY toand the US Dollar has fluctuated inD has been fluctuating over the past few years.

It's still fluctuating so "has been fluctuating" is better. "Over the past few years" also better communicates the continuity.

At the first Initially, when the rate started to dropping, we were afraid CNY wouldfeared the CNY might devalue to 7, 8, andor even to 10.

"afraid" is also okay, but "feared" might convey the direness of the situation better.

Later, as Ifter discusseding with my friends and made, we reached a consensus that the CNY wouldn't fall below 7.35.

"reach a consensus" is the proper expression. You can't reach a consensus without first finishing a discussion.

The proper expression is "took a screenshot." I fixed the rest of the sentence to make it more natural sounding and grammatically correct.

While I believe the CNY rate can be controlled by the government to a certain degree.

While is often used as a conjunction, using it with just one independent clause is awkward. (<- Example of the usage of "while") I added "to a certain degree" to better communicate the reality of economics.

However, I also deem it's impossiblebelieve it's unlikely for thate CNY will have the capability to challenge the US$D in the next 20 years.

Using "believe" here improves the flow of the paragraph. "Impossible" sounds way too definite and probably can only be made after extensive research as a skillful economist.

Feedback

Thank you for sharing yet another insightful piece. Although I'm not as knowledgable, I do believe that there are a lot of other factors at play aside from government policy when it comes to exchange rate fluctuations. It's also important to keep in mind that the aftermath of the pandemic can still be felt and there's been a lot of changes in the geopolitics involving major players in the global economy, which includes the US and China.

"$1000 USD" is how I have seen it written most often, but it might be stylistic.

It would be one of those three values and not all of them, so you would use "or"

The first one is a little awkward, but okay.

Or "While I believe the CNY rate can be controlled by the government, [I also believe...]"

However, I also deem it's impossible that CNY will have the capability to challenge US$ in the next 20 years.

All the edits I made were minor, and what you had was fine. Most of the changes I made were to make it more clear and concise.
