That was poorly worded. I meant to say that a decline in the dollar's value relative to the Yuan would make American exports, particularly agricultural, more competitive, threatening China's policy of agricultural independence (which it has long enjoyed).  A decline in the value of the Yuan, due to pegging to a declining US dollar, reduces Chinese purchasing power abroad which has negative welfare effects for anyone in China who wants to buy anything made somewhere other than America or China.
