This post discusses the complexities of China’s economic pragmatism and geopolitical principles in a post-dollar era, analyzing the potential implications of China’s de-dollarization efforts on its regional ambitions, particularly concerning Taiwan. The article explores the global response to China’s push for the renminbi (RMB) as an alternative global currency, examining the potential shift in international trade and the role of gold in this evolving economic landscape. It concludes by arguing that China’s de-dollarization efforts and its geopolitical ambitions toward Taiwan are incompatible, as disrupting global peace could hinder the RMB’s international acceptance and ultimately undermine China’s long-term economic and diplomatic goals.
