WASHINGTON, June 11 (AFP): No major US trading partners such as China have been labeled as manipulating their currencies, but Taiwan and Vietnam were added to a "monitoring list" of foreign exchange policies, the Treasury Department said on Friday night.

Washington also will continue "closely monitoring" China's actions and again raised concerns about Beijing's "lack of transparency" in its moves to influence currency markets, Treasury said in its semi-annual US report to Congress
