China Switching Pak to Yuan Currency

Remember that the heavily-indebted USA relies heavily upon the US Dollar's status as Global Reserve Currency, and its use in oil-trade transactions. As China extends its OBOR trading bloc towards the Middle East and Europe in an all-out play for global trade dominance, its attempt to displace the US Dollar with the Chinese Yuan currency will increasingly put the US economy in a riskier position.
