it is not voluntary de-dollarization when the CCP doesnt have have enough dollars to send to the Russians

Are you retarded? China can get as many dollars as they want. They are choosing to not use the dollar. You should educate yourself before looking like a dumbass



"As one of the world's largest economies and trading powers, China actively uses the USD in various capacities, including holding vast reserves of US Treasuries (making it one of the top foreign holders), settling international trade deals, and conducting cross-border financial transactions.



The USD remains the dominant currency for global trade, and much of China's trade—especially with the US and many other partners—is still denominated in dollars.


There are no blanket international restrictions preventing China from using the USD; in fact, China's central bank has historically pegged the yuan (RMB) to a basket that includes the dollar to stabilize its value.



However, China's own capital controls limit the free flow of foreign currencies to prevent capital flight and maintain economic stability, but these do not prohibit USD usage in approved trade or investment contexts.



China is not using the USD as much as before due to a deliberate strategy of de-dollarization, driven by geopolitical, economic, and strategic factors. This shift has accelerated in recent years, with over 30% of China's trade in goods and services now settled in yuan (up from 14% in 2019), and more than 50% of its cross-border trade with emerging markets conducted in RMB.



Key reasons include:

Geopolitical risks and sanctions avoidance:

Tensions with the US, including trade wars and the weaponization of the dollar (e.g., sanctions on Russia), have prompted China to reduce vulnerability to US financial controls. By diversifying away from the USD, China aims to hedge against potential asset freezes or exclusion from dollar-based systems like SWIFT.


Promoting yuan internationalization:


China is actively pushing the RMB as a global reserve and trade currency through initiatives like the Belt and Road Initiative, bilateral currency swaps, and encouraging foreign institutions to hold and use yuan. This includes settling more commodity trades (e.g., oil) in RMB to challenge USD dominance and boost China's economic influence.



BRICS and multilateral efforts:

As part of the BRICS bloc (Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa, and expanded members), China supports de-dollarization through local currency settlements and alternative payment systems. This is seen as a way to foster a multipolar world order and reduce reliance on Western financial infrastructure.



Economic diversification and confidence erosion:

Post-global financial crisis and amid faltering global confidence in the USD (due to US debt levels, inflation, and policy uncertainty), China has sought to extend RMB usage in reserves and trade to build resilience and capitalize on opportunities in emerging markets.



While de-dollarization is progressing, it's gradual—China still holds trillions in USD assets and benefits from the dollar's stability in many trades. Full displacement of the USD is unlikely soon, but China's efforts reflect a long-term ambition to reshape global finance."

The intelligence sharing marks a new indication that President Trump has deepened his support for Ukraine as his disillusionment with Russia grows.

Incorrect. The intelligence sharing is nothing new and has been going on since the start of the War in 2022. A New York Times article back in April showed we have been helping Ukraine with strikes inside of Russia. This is nothing new

to tell you how much trouble they are in, they recently started buying russian oil with the yuan. they had been propping up russia with dollars but now china has a dollar shortage

Yes, China is getting rid of dollars and this is by design. It is called de-dollarization and it benefits China and hurts America and the dollar.

"CHINA’S LEADERS sense an epic opportunity. President Donald Trump’s erratic trade policy, gaping fiscal deficits and threats to the independence of America’s Federal Reserve risk badly hurting the dollar. It has slumped 7% on a trade-weighted basis since January, and had its worst start to a year since 1973. By contrast, China’s tightly controlled currency, the yuan, has reached its highest level since Mr Trump was re-elected in November. Foreign investors are piling in. So are many governments looking for dollar alternatives."

:lol: Just like I thought, you have no answer because your statement makes absolutely no sense. If we could have easily solved this problem, it would have been solved back in 2010 when the U.S. Energy department acknowledged it was a huge problem and risk.

And he likely will. I love how people think we simply can’t do it.

Nobody said we can't do it. But this is going to take many years. The below tweet is worth the read because it is the best breakdown of the situation I have read
