China vs. The Dollar | Diana Choyleva

China’s decoupling from the Dollar. Are we on the brink of using the yuan as the new global currency, or will crypto take the spotlight? 

We’ve explored crypto’s role in disrupting the global monetary order before, but there’s another force that’s going to have just as much of an impact…some would say much more. China!

What does it look like when the world’s 2nd largest economy dedollarizes? That’s what we explore on today’s episode with China expert and economist Diana Choyleva. Towards the end, Diana also reveals her eye-opening prediction about a potential US-China conflict over Taiwan.
