🇨🇳China built a payment rail, a gold window, and a global vault network so it never has to fight the dollar at all... Peter Alexander opened with the two questions everyone conflates. Does Beijing want to replace the dollar? No. Is it building an alternative system? Absolutely, and it...

AFRICA'S GOLD BANK JUST WENT LIVE: THE DOLLAR IS BEING CUT OUT Africa just made a quiet but seismic move. Central banks are building their own gold bank and a continent-wide payment system that deliberately bypasses the US dollar while opening a direct gold corridor straight to China. The masses still have no idea this is happening. THE AFRICAN AWAKENING ➡️ On July 20 the central banks of Egypt and Eswatini sat down to advance both PAPSS and a pan-African gold bank. ➡️ The driving force is identical to China’s: escape dollar dependence before the next sanctions hammer falls. ➡️ Russia’s frozen reserves and the deliberate dollar squeeze on Iran taught them the lesson. They are acting on it. THE PAPSS BREAKTHROUGH ➡️ Afreximbank’s Pan-African Payment and Settlement System already links banks in 28 countries. ➡️ The Central Bank of the Central African States just joined, bringing the six CFA-franc nations with it. ➡️ Transactions now clear in roughly seven seconds. Western dollar banks lose real-time visibility. ➡️ Daily settlement still runs through Afreximbank in dollars. That is exactly where gold can replace the dollar as the final settlement asset. THE GOLD BANK PLAN ➡️ On 29 December Afreximbank and the Egyptian central bank formally decided to create a pan-African gold bank. ➡️ Goal: strengthen central-bank reserves, build African refineries and trading hubs, and keep physical gold on the continent. ➡️ A gold refinery is scheduled to open in an Egyptian free-trade zone by year-end. McKinsey is writing the feasibility study right now. THE CHINA CONNECTION ➡️ China’s CIPS system has already signed partnerships with Afreximbank and other regional banks to create offshore yuan centers. ➡️ Hong Kong’s Christopher Hui is personally building gold corridors with Ghana and Laos. ➡️ A joint venture between the Hong Kong Gold Exchange and Alibaba’s AGTech is preparing a digital platform so gold can serve as collateral and tokenized payment. ➡️ The design is clear: African gold stays in African vaults under Chinese-linked oversight while settlement shifts into yuan. THE RESERVE REALITY ➡️ China imported 196 tonnes net in May and 180 tonnes in June. ➡️ Official PBOC purchases were only 10 and 15 tonnes. Analysts at Goldman Sachs estimate the real May figure closer to 50 tonnes. ➡️ Physical gold is being pulled into a new system that the West still pretends does not exist. THE BOTTOM LINE Africa is no longer waiting for permission. It is building the rails, the vaults and the corridors that let physical gold settle trade outside the dollar. The quiet reconstruction of the monetary order is already underway. The window to understand it is still open. Most people will notice only after the door has closed.

China’s gold move is a direct shot at SWIFT and the dollar. Beijing is building a new global payment system: - Instant settlement via blockchain (mBridge) - Gold vaults across the Belt and Road Initiative - Yuan now convertible to gold This could be the foundation of a BRICS-led alternative system and it’s already underway.

🇨🇳 INTERVIEW: “CHINA IS USING GOLD TO CHALLENGE THE DOLLAR SYSTEM” Luke Gromen, Macroeconomic Strategist “China studied how the U.S. lost control of the gold peg in the 1970s and built a system that avoids the same weakness. By allowing the gold price to float in yuan rather than fixing it, they protect themselves from a direct run on their currency. And by keeping their own gold off the market, they can use it strategically without showing all their cards. It’s not about replacing the dollar overnight. It’s about creating an alternative that slowly shifts power away from the current system.”

The dollar's real backing stopped being gold a long time ago... It's TRUST, and we keep burning it. That line from Andy Schectman reframed our whole conversation. His argument: a system built on trust for 50 years is watching that trust erode every time treasuries get seized, countries get cut from SWIFT, and a trillion in new debt appears every few months. And the rest of the world is quietly building the exits. He pointed to real infrastructure, not theory. A new immediate-delivery gold and silver market in Dubai, the mBridge payment system, China's CIPS network signing up all of ASEAN, gold hubs expanding from Shanghai to Mumbai to Riyadh. None of it replaces the dollar tomorrow. All of it chips away. His bolder thesis is that Washington may actually WANT to shed reserve status, because Triffin's Dilemma means you can't rebuild a manufacturing base while the world hoards your currency. The fix he lays out runs through gold-backed treasury bonds, a weaker dollar, and debt that gets easier to pay as gold climbs. Andy Schectman

🚨 Historic: China Internationalizes the Gold-Backed Yuan and Payment System for the First Time Ever For the first time, the People’s Bank of China has explicitly made expanding the RMB’s global role a core priority: More use in trade and investment, stronger offshore markets, better cross-border payment systems, and solidifying Hong Kong as a key hub with physical gold vaults, clearing, and trading infrastructure. State institutions are also heavily bullish on gold. At the same time, JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon just warned that if the U.S. is no longer the world’s strongest economy and military in 25 years, the dollar will lose its reserve-currency status. History shows reserve status follows the dominant power. Dimon’s point is straightforward: keep the edge or lose the privilege. China is moving on multiple fronts to challenge that dominance: • Building gold-linked infrastructure and credibility for the yuan (vaults, trading, physical delivery options) so the currency feels more “hard-asset backed” to the rest of the world. • Expanding CIPS and pushing the new BRICS payment system (BRICS Pay / Bridge) as a real alternative to SWIFT, allowing countries to settle trade in local currencies without going through the dollar system. And don’t forget the real-world leverage: China still dominates the rare-earth supply chain (roughly 70% of mining, over 90% of processing, and the vast majority of permanent magnets). These materials are essential for EVs, wind turbines, defense systems, electronics, and more. That gives Beijing serious bargaining power in any shift away from dollar-centric trade. None of this means the dollar collapses tomorrow. It still settles the bulk of global trade and holds the majority of reserves. But the direction of travel is clear: China is systematically building the plumbing (gold, payments, commodities control) for a multipolar currency world, while the U.S. is being told by one of its own top bankers that the clock is running if it loses its edge. Soon as China banned retail paper gold market, Chinese investors turned to tokenized gold on blockchains. The game is long. The pieces are moving.

Here's why the Chinese are buying seemingly all the gold 🪙on Earth: China is a mess but has run biggest trade surplus ever imagined which is keeping CNY "stronger." Chinese are putting a lot that surplus into gold realizing what happens to yuan (and more) if (when) trade surplus normalizes. If not for the $1+ TRILLION surplus China has amassed this year, CNY would be plunging in the same boat as JPY/INR/KRW. So, thinking ahead, as the rest of the world starts pushing back against China (see: Mexico, France) the Chinese know their massive trade surplus is temporary and once it normalizes to something more sustainable the yuan will drop sharply. Thus, China (companies, banks and individuals, not govt) can't get enough gold looking ahead for the inevitable currency reversion to its fundamentals, especially given how bad the banking system is and the accelerating crash in macro (investment & consumer spending). So, there's India’s economy practically thriving compared to China's yet the rupee is plunging because the country needs to finance its massive and growing trade deficit when the Euro$ increasingly doesn’t want to. At the same time, China is a total mess (banks + econ) and getting worse but has the biggest trade surplus humanity has ever seen. And still the Chinese put a lot of it into gold realizing the precarious shape they're in.

🇺🇸🇮🇷 Trump just declared economic war on anyone keeping Iran alive. There's just one HUGE problem: China. Trump's “Economic D-Day” is an attempt to financially isolate Iran on a scale Washington says has never been attempted before. And Treasury Sec. Bessent made the objective brutally clear: They want to collapse the Iranian regime. That means targeting not just Iran, but the countries, banks and businesses that continue trading with it. Which brings Washington directly into collision with Beijing. China buys the overwhelming majority of Iran's shipped oil. So if Trump genuinely intends to economically strangle Tehran, eventually he has to answer the question everyone is asking: What happens when China refuses to stop? He faces two choices: Don't enforce the sanctions aggressively against China, and Tehran retains the economic lifeline Washington is trying to sever. Enforce them, and what began as an economic war against Iran starts becoming an economic confrontation with the world's second-largest economy. And China isn't Iran. Beijing has economic weapons of its own: Rare earths, manufacturing, critical supply chains, and, crucially, an alternative financial architecture it's spent years developing precisely because it never wanted Washington to possess a permanent veto over Chinese commerce. That's the part of this story that could become far more consequential than whatever happens in Hormuz. America's greatest economic weapon isn't an aircraft carrier, it's the dollar. Access to the dollar system gives Washington an extraordinary ability to punish governments, banks and companies almost anywhere on Earth. But that power only remains overwhelming for as long as the rest of the world has no viable alternative. Every time Washington weaponises it, it creates another incentive to build one. And Trump is now threatening to demonstrate that vulnerability on an enormous scale. China doesn't need to overthrow the dollar tomorrow; it just needs enough infrastructure to continue trading when Washington says: Stop, or else. And once that infrastructure exists, other countries gain access to the same insurance policy. Trump's war on Iran exposed the limits of American military power. His economic war may be about to expose the limits of America's financial power too. Brandon Weichert

Eric Sprott: There will be a shortage of gold. - China imported 163t of gold in May. - We mine ~3,600 and recycle ~1,400t annually. Annualized, China's May imports alone amount to roughly 2,000t... That's ~40% of annual global mine + recycled supply. And that's before considering that China produces another 400-500t annually, virtually none of which leaves the country. China isn't just buying gold...it's building a financial system around it With the introduction of interest-bearing gold accounts, accessible through online banking and paying roughly 1% in gold, China is beginning to eliminate one of gold's biggest historical disadvantages: "Gold pays no interest." At the same time, China is gradually opening international trade through gold. Trade can be settled in yuan, while surplus balances can ultimately be converted into physical gold. China is even building gold vaults abroad, allowing bullion to be stored in friendly jurisdictions rather than Western financial centers. So is basically saying use our currency and if you don't trust us change it to gold and store it locally In a world where trust is declining, China is using gold's 5,000-year monetary history to gradually increase the international role of the yuan.

🇨🇳 INTERVIEW: “CHINA IS USING GOLD TO CREATE A TRADE LOOP THAT STRENGTHENS ITS ECONOMY” Luke Gromen, Macroeconomic Strategist “China has built a system that rewards its trading partners for holding gold instead of dollars. As gold rises in yuan terms, it preserves and even grows purchasing power for their creditors, which encourages more trade in yuan. At the same time, China restricts physical gold from leaving the mainland. Gold can flow through Hong Kong or Shanghai’s free trade zone, but once it enters China, it stays there. That setup pushes global gold demand higher without depleting their reserves, while also improving domestic balance sheets for Chinese citizens and banks holding gold. It’s a strategic financial loop that boosts trade, strengthens collateral, and reduces dependence on the U.S. dollar.”

🇨🇳 INTERVIEW: “CHINA IS USING GOLD TO CREATE A TRADE LOOP THAT STRENGTHENS ITS ECONOMY” Luke Gromen, Macroeconomic Strategist “China has built a system that rewards its trading partners for holding gold instead of dollars. As gold rises in yuan terms, it preserves and even grows purchasing power for their creditors, which encourages more trade in yuan. At the same time, China restricts physical gold from leaving the mainland. Gold can flow through Hong Kong or Shanghai’s free trade zone, but once it enters China, it stays there. That setup pushes global gold demand higher without depleting their reserves, while also improving domestic balance sheets for Chinese citizens and banks holding gold. It’s a strategic financial loop that boosts trade, strengthens collateral, and reduces dependence on the U.S. dollar.”

🇨🇳🇺🇸 Former Greek FM Varoufakis hits the nail on the head: Trump wants a “Plaza Accord 2.0” to crush China like the US crushed Japan in 1985. But China ≠ Japan. Beijing isn’t a vassal, there’s no US military on its soil — and China is building its own Bretton Woods system within BRICS: A multipolar trade & currency network to recycle yuan surpluses and end dollar hegemony. 🌏💴🧱

🇺🇸🇨🇳 China has been quietly breaking free from the dollar system for over a decade, and even most in finance missed every sign it was happening. Luke Gromen traces it all back, from the Shanghai Gold Exchange in 2014 to the yuan oil contract in 2018 to record trade surpluses that keep growing even as the yuan strengthens. "China and Russia looked at that, and said 'we've got to get out of the dollar system. We have to create an alternative, otherwise any war that started would be over day one.'" The footprints are in the markets. Most just don't know what to look for. Luke Gromen

Putin arrived in Beijing on a red carpet. And this is not just a protocol visit. Today, world leaders are flocking to China one after another. Not to Washington. Not to Brussels. But specifically to Beijing. This says almost everything about where the center of gravity in global politics is shifting to. The old unipolar order, built around the USA, no longer seems to be the only option. In its place, a new reality is forming, where China is becoming one of the key platforms for global diplomacy, trade, and strategic decisions. A multipolar world is already coming into being. The only question is who will manage to take their place in this new system, and who will continue to argue with the reality of the past. China, Iran, and Russia will break America's back in the coming days. War is very close.
