Russia and China have effectively ditched the dollar

The de-dollarization of Russia-China trade is practically complete, according to Georgy Zinoviev, the director of the Russian Foreign Ministry’s First Asian Department, as cited by RIA Novosti.

The official said the share of the US dollar in mutual settlements between the neighboring nations has substantially shrunk over the past two years.

“The share of national currencies in Russian-Chinese payments is growing at an extremely rapid pace,” Zinoviev told the news agency. “At the beginning of 2022 it was hovering around 25%, now it is exceeding 80%.”

He added that the volume of trading in the ruble-yuan pair on the Moscow Exchange (MOEX) outpaced volumes in the dollar-ruble pair long ago.

According to Zinoviev, Russian and Chinese businesses are “rapidly moving away from the ‘toxic’ Western currencies, opting for the ruble and yuan as more reliable and safe way of payment.”

The diplomat noted that Moscow and Beijing have developed vital tools to make it possible to “facilitate all necessary transactions as much as possible,” despite international political and economic instability that significantly affects financial institutions and their ability to efficiently operate.

The changes reflect Russia’s move away from transactions in the currencies of ‘unfriendly countries’ against the backdrop of sanctions. Earlier this year, Finance Minister Anton Siluanov said the country no longer trusts the dollar, calling it “a completely unreliable instrument.”

Zinoviev’s comments come ahead of the 8th Eastern Economic Forum, which kicks off on September 10 in Vladivostok, Russia. Most of the discussions at the annual event will focus on trade, business, and investment.

World is ‘laughing at’ the US – Alaska governor

The US government’s decision to cancel oil and gas drilling licenses and forbid further drilling will “hobble” the country’s economy and makes no sense except to advance the green agenda, Alaska Governor Mike Dunleavy has declared.

President Joe Biden’s administration on Wednesday canceled seven ten-year oil and gas drilling licenses granted to the Alaska Industrial Development and Export Authority (AIDEA) by former President Donald Trump. Biden’s Department of the Interior followed up this decision by issuing a proposal to forbid future leases on more than 40% of the National Petroleum Reserve in Alaska.

If it is not a law passed by Congress the next President can cancel it. EO’s are a poor way to rule.

after a while, until then things will be scarce and costly. We have sacrificed to many factories and jobs to the altar of unfair free trade. Although some industries have came back to the US, a lot still have to build factories, buy machinery, hire and train people to make those products.

As far as the De-Dollarized counterfeited Non- American – NON Constitutional CAPTURED Federal Government – Real International Blood line Bankster Creature From Jekyll Island FIAT NOTE – The only thing that is going to matter soon is keeping the main thing…the main thing…and the main thing (for a time such as this) will be your individual Spiritual Prep…and your individual Joseph years of Plenty Prep.

“Sanctions no longer matter.”

Because…that fiat power will soon have run its intended course…and most Americans will lose EVERYTHING as TLPTB (L=Luciferian) have planned…or so the demented demonic minds behind the invisible claw have been deceived to believe and worship.

Russia dumps dollar after the West sanctions Russia so they can’t get access to dollars. China is dumping dollar because no one wants Yuan. But two authoritarian cesspools are going to take over the world. Mmmkkk.
