The flap over the sale of a US oil company
to China MIGHT HAVE inspired the move to delink from the dollar.... After all, it China is going to have all these dollars to spend, the US will have to give China SOMETHING TO BUY......
The unhealthy situation around the dollar will eventually cause CURRENCY CHAOS that could be hard to control once it gets started.
The sad truth is that China has more to say about US monetary policy now that the FED!
