On a related note, the BTC trades usually for 1-2 EUR higher on bitcoin.de.
What's interesting is btcchina had always traded at lower than Mt.Gox price, until recently.
take into account the rising yuan.
Btcchina displays the rate in both currencies.
Care for a link? I'd like to check that myself. I only see the yuan prices on their site.
It's the front page of the site, right above the chart there are two tables, the right table displays Mt.Gox prices in both currencies, last/max/min prices, etc, the USD is converted into CNY in real time, and the rate is up to date, if you compare the equivalent CNY price to the left column btcchina price, which is displayed in CNY only, the btcchina price is consistently higher, though not by that much ATM
We were talking about the past prices though. That's was I meant the yuan prices appear to have been lower in the past because the exchange rate yuan/usd is now higher.
At Jan 27th(I pick that day because price was relatively stable during the day), the yuan/usd rate was even higher at 1usd=6.22 yuan, the btcchina price, according to the chart on the frontpage(the "transaction price" could be seen by hovering the pointer over the data point), was ¥107.99/6.22=17.3633 usd, if btcchina uses Beijing time, the Mt.Gox price for the corresponding time-frame (it uses UTC) would be between 17.4-17.7 usd, if both use UTC time, Gox closing price would be 17.81, assuming, of course, that by "transaction price" btcchina means "closing price". Of course it is just one data point but this is generally in agreement with my own recollection.
EDIT: oh I forgot bitcoinchart's datas of btcnCNY,
http://bitcoincharts.com/charts/btcnCNY#rg60ztgSzm1g10zm2g25zv it was actually the closing price they display on the frontpage chart.
