Deep dives
China's Decoupling from the Dollar
China is actively pursuing a strategy to reduce its dependency on the US dollar as part of its broader goal to internationalize its currency, the renminbi (RMB). This initiative gained momentum around 2009 when Chinese officials began advocating for the RMB's role in global trade. The shift from simple economic discussions to a political agenda highlights that China's currency ambitions are tied to its aspiration as a global power. Recent developments, including geopolitical tensions and the Ukraine-Russia war, have accelerated this commitment and showcased the urgency for China to establish a form of transaction independence.
