Treasury Secretary Timothy F. Geithner said China needs to allow a “significant, sustained” rise in its currency as lawmakers called for the U.S. to toughen its stance on the yuan.

Geithner’s comments, his strongest since he took office in January 2009, highlight growing frustration among American officials with policies they say put American companies at a competitive disadvantage.
