    China doesn’t even let you take Yuan out of the country in most cases, even if someone wanted to take it in payment.

    Just two weeks ago China and Saudi Arabia signed a ¥50 billion currency swap agreement lol

      I mean, as a normal person, I can’t earn Yuan in China and then convert to USD when I leave(at least this was the case for a long time), but the reverse isn’t true. If you can’t convert into and back out of a currency, I question how much it has to do with the global economy. A government currency swap is like swapping commodities, it isn’t doing anything for other countries.

        I must be out of my depth! Yuan is traded for dollars every day and there’s a current scheme where it’s traded/invested in the CFETS basket of 24 national currencies they do business with, so I can’t make heads-or-tails of what you’re talking about.
