US Congress gives in and passes the IMF quotas reform

by Ariel Noyola Rodríguez

Mexico City (Mexico) | 7 January 2016
Apparently the year 2015 marks the beginning of the new IMF interior revolution. First the incorporation of the yuan into the SDR’s was approved, the reserve basket created in 1969 to serve as a supplement of member nations’ official reserves. And now, thanks to approval from the US Congress, the IMF will finally be able to implement the reform of the quotas representation system, China and other emerging countries will increase their power in decision-making, whilst European countries will lose relevance. However, it is still too early to conclude that this is a radical transformation of the correlation of forces inside the IMF: The United States will retain its powers of veto.

The yuan will be the third most powerful currency in the IMF basket

by Ariel Noyola Rodríguez

Mexico City (Mexico) | 10 December 2015
In spite of the fierce opposition of the US treasury Department, on November 30 the IMF finally approved the inclusion of the yuan in the Special Drawing Rights, the currency basket created in 1969 to complement the official reserves of the members of the multilateral organization. With this the Chinese currency will become, next October 1 (2016), part of the integrating fifth of the IMF basket. The financial influence of China on a world scale will continue to grow at high velocity: the weight of the yuan in the Special Drawing Rights will be greater in comparison with the Japanese yen and the pound sterling.

World yuan-ization thanks to the City of London

by Ariel Noyola Rodríguez

Mexico City (Mexico) | 5 November 2015
The Government of China promotes the internationalization of «the people’s currency» (‘renminbi’) through a policy of alliances that does not take ideological barriers into account. In a first moment the diplomatic forces of the yuan were concentrated in Pacific-Asia, but in a second moment, it became necessary to gain the support of the West. After the President Xi Jinping visited London, between the 19th and the 23rd of October, the bases of the «golden age» between China and the United Kingdom were established, with which both countries looked to push the yuan-ization of the world economy.

The devaluation of the yuan tests China’s rise as a world power

by Ariel Noyola Rodríguez

Mexico City (Mexico) | 31 August 2015
After the devaluation of the yuan, the international financial markets started trembling. Washington accused Peking of taking advantage of the market. As China wants to incorporate the yuan into the Special Drawing Rights, it is inconvenient to prolong the devaluation. Furthermore, if a currency war broke out, China would risk increasing the economic and geopolitical tensions between countries in the Asian-Pacific region. That way, the United States would have more possibilities to disrupt regional co-operation initiatives and thereby undermine China’s rise as a world power.

The number of adepts of the Chinese currency is ever-growing in its process of internationalisation. After gaining support in Pacific Asia and Europe by installing clearing centres and permit the investment of financial assets denominated in yuan, now Canada, the United States’ long-time ally, breaks its resistance and is called upon to become the platform of «yuan-ization» on the American continent.

On this subject, London can provide a tutorial.
In the nineteenth century, to penetrate China, the English had recourse to trade in opium which they bring from India, causing tremendous economic and social damage. When the Chinese Authorities confiscate and burn the opium stored at Canton, English (...)

Who Makes Up the "Islamic Emirate"?

by Thierry Meyssan

Beirut (Lebanon) | 22 September 2014
While Western public opinion is fed information about the constitution of a purported international coalition to fight against the "Islamic Emirate", the latter changes shape discreetly. Its principal officers are no longer Arab, but Georgian and Chinese. For Thierry Meyssan, this mutation shows that NATO ultimately intends to use the "Islamic Emirate" in Russia and in China. Therefore, both countries must act now against the jihadists before they return to sow chaos in their countries of origin.

by Manlio Dinucci

21 May 2014
The tactic of the United States to economically isolate Russia to prevent it from coming to the aid of the Ukrainian population has had the opposite effect to what was intended: it is pushing Moscow in the arms of Beijing, so that, in the long run, the Eastern European-Asian block which is gaining steam will surpass the power of Western countries.
