China's De-Dollarization Push Stalls as Yuan Fails to Challenge Dollar Dominance
By
Agathe Demarais
Summary
China's de-dollarization efforts, while showing some progress in building alternative financial channels, have largely stalled. Despite new initiatives from the People's Bank of China and expected pushes at the upcoming BRICS summit, the yuan still accounts for a tiny fraction of global reserves and trade settlement. The article argues that Beijing can create financial instruments but cannot decree demand — the dollar's dominance is sustained by deep, liquid US capital markets, rule of law, and network effects that China cannot easily replicate.
