Inside Story – China questions the dollar’s value – 26 Mar 09 – Part 1

May 29, 2010 - 2:22 pm 25 Comments

Days before the G20 financial summit in London, Zhou Xiaochuan, the governor of the People’s Bank of China, called for a new currency to eventually replace the US dollar.

The dollar, which was made the reserve currency after World War II, has come under increased pressure of late.

Barak Obama, the US president, cast doubt upon calls by senior Chinese authorities for the creation of a new global currency to replace the dollar as the standard bearer for the world.

    China holds 2 trillion dollars of US debt. A few months ago China stopped loaning the US money because they finally realized that the US is NEVER going to pay them back!

    China is the new economic super power.

    @BusterXXL I’m referring to a number of people, each specifically is unknown or they would be in the hands of authorities for offenses such as fraud and extortion. “Anyone” includes employees of Bank and Investment firms where poor investment managing and fraud were allowed for personal gain. I’m neither democrat nor republican; neither party can deny money grubbing.. You ever notice how everyone in office is easily a millionaire (Not to say that all acquired their wealth dishonestly)

    @pickandzip Well, its risky to get overly unfriendly with the country, that paid your last three wars.

    @hotsauce3888 Name those individuals, else you could be refering to anyone. The Bush dynasty helped themselves and their goon Cheney to a lot of very profitable deals, by deliberately harming the country.

    OMG………the …
    OMG………the American public is so naive. They have the best hearts on earth. But oh so naive to what in the world is going on. And sometimes, like the children that know the parents are in trouble, refuse to acknowledge the truth. They are the BIGGEST victims of the lies and deception in the world. And unless they start using their voices…they will not just be deceived. Like the rest of the world they will suffer from the starvation and poverty caused by the greed of the money worshippers

    @brian8793 Don’t blame on others.. It is you yourself, the American citizens who voted for them and who place them in power.

    So who’s fault? the voters for not choosing wisely, the common peoples fault.

    What the media …
    What the media doesn’t discuss is the real cause which was the greed of select individuals who sought to get rich at the expense and disregard of anything else.. I find it funny how the government was “cracking down” on banks and investment firms but has since become silent.. Those responsible need to be stripped of everything they so greedily negotiated for.. Find vengeance, THEN a solution. Government has put us under the assumption that they’re a seperate entity, they forget that they’re us

    it’s funny how the US news network keeps the americans uninformed, no channel ever discusses and breaks down the facts as foreign news network. this english seem to know more about the us economy than actuel american, well part because that affects and reflects on their own economy but mainly because we’re been hidden the truth and even brainwashed

    good to hear there are actually a few human beings left in america and not war loving monsters. here i thought all americans are the devil’s children.

    maybe i was wrong, maybe there are a few good people left in america after all.

    I personally believe that no one currency should dominate the international economc system, wether it’s USD, or EUR, or GBP, or JPY and so on. It gives an unfair advantage to a country. It should be a basket. How about a basket of currencies of the G-20?

    Good coverage, well …
    Good coverage, well balanced, not bigoted, or biased. It does seem that that Huffington Post’s reporter in Paris doesn’t have an Occidental Spin Doctor from some global corporate corrupted media breathing down his neck! Bush’s crooks { U.S. hedge fund managers } had to take a ‘bailout’ instead of robbing the U.S. Public’s Social Security System.

    I agree with you too but here in west we criticize when there is something wrong or u can go other media sources to get correct news. In china some miner criticism u can landed in jail.

    FREEDOM is unimpeachable.

    You can see, todays china’s ruler (or we can says Dictator) have no culture or moral back ground, only profit orientated. Now Human Right worsening.

    People of Tibet living under constant Fear of ur Dictatorship. A country that no rule of Law, discriminating is daily part of life.

    china has a 3000 years old history. Do you know how old is Great Britan? or USA? that’s right. What you saying here is a pure westernized propaganda therefore im not going to argue with u any longer because there is no point in arguing with a propaganda droid.

    and yes i admit you have a point that chinese government is fucked. No more than any other government out there tho. peace and re-read my first post. I was arguing about media propaganda. not about “respect” or “culture”.

    true but it’s a bit better mouthpiece comparing to other like FOX or CBC or BBC or CNN
