China is quietly laying the financial plumbing to weaken the dollar's dominance by expanding the interest-bearing e-CNY at home and pushing blockchain-based cross-border payment systems abroad. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/commentary/2026/03/29/world/king-dollar-asian-mutiny/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #commentary #worldnews #forex #currencies #dollar #yuan #ecny #mbridge #china #us #tariffs #sanctions #treasuries

China tests new payment rails in challenge to 'King Dollar'
