Saudi Arabia is considering selling its oil to China in yuan rather than dollars, people familiar with the matter told the Wall Street Journal on Tuesday, citing “active talks” between Riyadh and Beijing. Such a move could further marginalize the petrodollar paradigm that has controlled the global financial system for over half a century, placing the dollar’s status as the international reserve currency at risk.

Biden is reportedly planning a trip to Saudi Arabia later this spring in an effort to mend relations, though some at home might question Washington’s criticism of Russia’s human rights record while Riyadh beheaded a record-setting 81 prisoners in a single day over the weekend.

When you counterfeit your own currency you should no longer be the reserve currency.

We have done this to ourselves.

If they want to use some kind of made up money why should we stop them? Nobody would accept it anyway.

Not that if Brandon went tomorrow and had talks, but spring is going to be a little late for a visit.

The dollar is equally as “made up” as anything else.

Go check M1 and M2 and then tell me its not imaginary monopoly money

I posted in another thread:

People need to wait and see if it really happens or just smoke.

The talk of Saudi price some oil using Yuan started 6 years ago. But did not go any where.

Recently, Saudi is scared by the frozen of Russian assets in US$/Euro by US and Europe. On the other hand, Russian Chinese Yuan Reserve are safe.

Saudi has invited Xi to visit Saudi. Hope Saudi and Xi can agree sth to make Yuan Oil really happen.

Otherwise, if no action just talking, Saudi is using this as a bargaining chip to negotiate with US.

War Room covered this in depth this morning…..it’s going to be a play to dethrone the USD as the world’s reserve currency.

Too many oligarchs and cartels heavily invested in the USD. Those types aren’t big on having their wealth made worthless. Plus, investing in communism has not been a safe bet in the past. Nobody is really going to put all their money at the whim of a dictator. Not a smart move long term.
