Can the Chinese YUAN win the WAR against the DOLLAR? [And one more alternative]

The offensive against the dominance of the dollar has begun. The dollar has been the basis of the world's financial and trading system since at least the Bretton Woods agreements in 1944. That's been almost eight decades now, and guess what? Now the urgency to overcome the dominance of the dollar seems increasingly evident among dictatorships and emerging economies.
The question is: to what extent is the hegemony of the dollar in danger? Will the Yuan be its new alternative? Is there any currency that could potentially rattle the financial foundations of Uncle Sam? What consequences could this campaign have? Well, in this new VisualPolitik video we answer all these questions.

And countries like the UK, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Greece, are in the liscencing stage of opening new mines, while France, Italy, Slovakia and Austria are exploring their gold deposits. But that in itself is beside the point. Africa has always had bountiful material resources, while Europe has had fewer, both in the time of the Gold-Standard, before and after it. So why is Europe wealthy and Africa poor? Because Europe invested in their human capital, rather than depending on their basic resources for wealth. Educated people, with specializations, add value to the economy. That is why service economies grow faster and are richer than primary or secondary economies. And Africa is still incapable of harnessing its Human capital. Europe isn't afraid of Africa FINALLY modernizing, they are anxiously waiting for it, since it will mean more, wealthier consumers, who will buy the luxury goods Europe focuses on. But that is only if Africa can get its act together, and so far only places like Botswana show any promise. For Africa "business as usual" still means wallowing in poverty because the elites in power can rely on exporting their basic resources to pay for their lavish lifestyles over building the institutions for a richer society overall. And your thinking only proves how far Africa has to go to be able to build that society.

[@dalehartley2821]

Two problems: First; there is no formal agreement that cements the US dollar as the global reserve currency. It’s just cheaper to exchange through the US dollar than exchanging directly. Currency is traded in all manner of currencies and the US doesn’t care, and does literally nothing to ensure the dominance of its currency. It just has a very stable currency and economic system that most want to use. Secondly; the currency of any tyranny is far more exposed to policy based volatility and uncertainty than those from democracies; as a function of all the checks and balances present in democracies to stop a leader doing something devastating. Tyrannies don’t have the same robustness built into their systems because it stops tyrants exploiting their people and economies for their own benefit. So the RMB can only gain prominence as the global reserve currency once China builds in robust checks on government power and it becomes cheaper to trade in RMB than USD. The same is true for any other currency. Which means trade in RMB will be limited even if countries like Russia go all in on using the RMB. Even if it gains greater use, even if it becomes cheaper, it’s constantly one decision by Xi Jinping away from its popularity collapsing. Also a pluralistic currency world won’t prevent either economic shocks or international sanctions, or even make them harder to enforce. Sanctions are enforced by national governments, and the US dollar is only used as a matter of convenience to determine thresholds, but there is no challenge in each country agreeing to an equivalent amount in their own currencies as this is basically what happens now. The advantage for Russia using the RMB is simply to avoid going through the systems of nations who will enforce sanctions. But it costs them in other ways and denies them access to markets who won’t use the RMB because they don’t trust it.

This is why it won't work. People are like why does China truly want to do this?

Good video. Thanks for uploading. If the dollar loses its dominance, it would be solely due to the actions of the US government itself, whose unabashed decision to print trillions of dollars during the pandemic, and even after when it had ended, in the name of helping people, resulted in very high inflation (which the US exported across the globe). By the time the US government and the Fed understood their mistake, it was late. However, better late than never. US dollar is a beautiful currency, and the US should take responsible actions in the future. It is proved that cryptocurrencies cannot topple the US dollar, and nor can the Chinese Yuan. The other currencies, incl. the Euro, are not used as extensively as the US dollar. The US should try to reduce its debt burden and not fall on printing of the US dollar as the solution to any financial problem, and US dollar should do just fine.

Backing a currency with precious metals and rare earths *sounds* good. Who among us doesn't feel nostalgia for currencies whose value is fixed? Alas, those are traded commodities, and their values are *not* fixed. They never were. Further, we have reason to expect energy costs to fall over coming decades as fossil fuels are phased out. It's worth pointing out, energy to extract and refine these commodities is their primary cost driver. Falling energy prices mean falling prices for precious metals and rare earths. Basing currencies on commodities may turn out to have two disadvantages: - increased volatility. - reduced flexibility. On the second point: a central bank tied to a commodity cannot issue more currency, nor drain it, in response to macroeconomic trends. I know there are some people who would love to see central bankers stripped of power, eviscerated, coated with honey, and staked to an ants' nest. I may even occasionally sympathize. But although central bankers do not always do the right thing, being unable to do anything at all is essentially what we had in the US when we had the gold standard. That did not go well, which is why we abandoned it. Which let the US get out of a persistent depression, grow output to fight WWII and to expand its economy in subsequent years far more than if we had stubbornly clung to the gold standard. That view is generally accepted among economists. It's simply true that commodities don't have, and can't have, fixed values. Trying to buck that trend gets us nowhere. I'm not the biggest fan of fiat currencies. But at this moment in time, absent rethinking how else to store value and lubricate trade, it's all we've got.

[@titanxie5579]

The main reason for most countries backing off from USD is to avoid US sanctions and depreciation of the dollar. The fact we don’t hear from the media is that the US government demands China and Japan to buy US bonds. Then, every time the dollar depreciates, the bond holders lose massively. And US sanction is probably the first thing any country wants to avoid. Russia knows about it better than anyone. So, US spent 70 years to build the world economy based on USD is starting to end.

You're right in that a strong dollar will raise price on us goods, hurting us exports but your understanding is too simplistic for a number of reasons. 1. 90% of the us economy is internal market, not exports. 2. USA runs continuous deficits increasing the debt increasing treasury bond sales which will drive up interest rates which will cause the fed to conduct open market operations buying bonds with money the fed makes which increases the money supply which is inflationary which dollar dominance helps by increasing demand for dollars thus bolstering dollar value. 3. Inflation is the obstacle to economic growth and the fed wants to keep it at 2% because a slight inflation is a hedge against risk of investment in increased production capacity and entrepreneurial ventures. 4. High inflation or deflation is a prohibitive risk to investment. 5. Falling dollar value will cause a drop in profit from us bonds, decreasing demand which will lower their value which will drive up yields which will raise interest rates. You don't think things through😢😂😢😂

[@fahqkitty]

Ah yes, Brazil, India, China, Russia, and South Africa. Economic powerhouses that have so much in common. • Brazil is taking steps backwards after their growth thanks to leadership, and this is just another step in that direction. They’re making a joint currency with Argentina, which has a history of their absolutely dog shit economics lol • Russia has a GDP that’s half the size of California and smaller than not only Texas, but New York as well. They are going to be taken advantage of and become a serfdom of China in the process lol. They just sell cheap oil to China and they benefit from keeping them close, but they are not allies. • India is slowly moving towards aligning with the West and loosening ties with Russia. They historically relied of Soviet arms for defense, but they are moving away from that. India and China have border clashes because China tries to forcefully take Indian territory. They just fight with sticks instead of guns lol. India is in BRICS to counteract China, they are not friends. • Chinas economy is collapsing. They have two currencies for international and domestic use. Without the domestic l, the international has inherently no value. Companies are leaving China, and China won’t let them take their money with them. They inflate their economics to hide the fact that their housing market is collapsing and industry is slowing down. And again I’ll point out the conflicting nature of China and India. • South Africa is days away from becoming a failed state thanks to its corruption. They can’t even keep their lights on without having 12 hour blackouts every day. But yes, a fine addition to BRICS lol The only thing these nations have in common is that they hate the US/west and want to be the world rulers. Corrupt dictators who oppress and wage imperialistic wars and jail/murder their opposition, or run their countries into the ground lining their pockets, relying solely on propaganda and the threat of violence to facilitate and hold onto their power. They will never agree to a collective currency unless they hold the power. China controls its economy by controlling it currency, they won’t hand it off. India won’t put faith in any of them, and russia knows if they did they’d be even more fucked lol. Gold is traded with USD, and BRICS won’t change that.

[@franknwogu4911]

[@mgronich948]

The effort to dedollarize really picked up steam and 2023. So all those statistics that date to 2020, are really misleading. But also the question of will the Yuan displace the dollar is the wrong question. Displace might take 10 or 15 or 20 years. But what are the smaller nearer term consequences? For example if BRICS and the global south stop using the dollar for trade in that? 40% of the global economy within the next 2 years what's the consequence? Well if the use of the dollar in trade drops by 40% every country will likely reduce their dollar/treasuries holding by again 40%. Will that increase the interest rate on Treasures by 2%? That adds 600B/yr to the US Govt interest paymnets. Right now the US is facing a debt crisis as Repub and Dem can't agree on increasing the debt limit vs cutting spending. WIll this crisis now happen every year instead of every 2 years?

Even China would not want that the Yuan would be the worlds currency. It is a lot better for china to have its own currency that they can devalue at any given moment. That gives China more control over their economy. So a BRICS currency is more welcome and more likely

[@Owlr4ider]

No, the Yuan isn't going to rival the dollar anytime soon, nor will this new BRICS currency, which isn't really a new proposal btw. The only currency that is capable of rivalling the dollar is another western currency, and the Euro utterly failed at doing just that. So any other is incredibly unlikely in the foreseeable future. The issue is as you correctly said: trust. Non western countries simply don't enjoy the same trust western countries do, for obvious reasons I might add. Autocratic governments that don't answer to anybody simply aren't as trustworthy as governments that answer to somebody(be it their people or any other entity) which in turn creates clear and concise rules and regulations as well as checks and balances. The very things autocratic nations lack and coincidentally the very things that create international trust.

However the US wants this kind of total dominance in order to boost shareholders values of big corporations in the US and of course use it as a weapon to put “allied” countries in lines and weaken “hostile” competitors.
