That's right.
You would force Taiwan to use RMB. What's the difference?
The difference is China now dominates global trade in manufactured goods and commodities.
The world has changed since USA did in the 1950s.
China has never forced anyone to use RMB.
It doesn't need to because it enjoys massive and growing trade surpluses.
Without its petrodollar global monetary hegemony USA is broke because it cannot pay its way if it has to earn it and its in hocl to its Jewish banker owners nearly $40 Trillion.
Iran, Saudis, UAE, Qatar have all joined BRICS and mBridge and are building the central bank mechanisms to bypass the dying petrodollar.
US petrodollar empire is facing imminent insolvency.
Without its petrodollar global monetary hegemony USA is broke because it cannot pay its way if it has to earn it and its in hocl to its Jewish banker owners nearly $40 Trillion.
The US has a dual monetary system. It shills the USD overseas while accumulating Bitcoin domestically. The PRC stupidly drove out its Bitcoin miners to Texas and has drank too much of its own kool-aid to course correct.
China has never forced anyone to use RMB.
Oh is force bad now? Should we not be killing rich people and redistributing their wealth? Should we not kill randoms for their parents' political affiliations?
Now that communists have some money they want everyone else to respect their property rights. Nahh it's too late for free market competition. The PRC is a rich country hoarding its wealth. They have to pay their fair share.
False equivalence.
How so? Either we resolve our differences through money and free market competition, or through guns and government coercion. The communists fought hard for a gun-based system. You can't just switch games when it becomes inconvenient.
China won the trade war.
So you impose punitive tariffs to which China responds by cutting off your supply of rare earths.
Dang!
You cannot compete in trade or with tariffs and so now out of desperation and arrogance risk showing you cannot triumph via war either . . . you invade Chinas energy supply partners to show the petrodollar is still king.
But in Iran you have hit a snag...just as The British Empire finally lost monetary hegemony via the Suez canal conflict with Egypt, (where USA refused to support the UK) your petrodollar demise looks likely to be triggered in the Strait of Hormuz.
Dang!
A sad and declining empire exposed for what it is.
You have run out of Interceptors and cannot make any more because China has cut supply of refined rare earths. Meanwhile Russia is enjoying great returns and rumbling towards Poland.
Defeat is humbling - make America humble again.
Some semblance of dignity may eventually to USA, given time...probably several generations, or centuries.
Dang!
Scoreboard.
Military casualties: 15 to 3,375
Economic damage: $12 billion to $300 billion.
Where's the snag? We haven't even hit the bridges yet.
We're not stopping at your suppliers.
You have succeeded in installing a much more reactionary hardline regime.
Nobody would blame them if they build nukes now.
The only thing you seem to understand is brute force.
The world is watching the Zionist-US sponsored war crimes.
You have no Interceptor missiles yet!
TACO!
AKA - Do as we say and use the petrodollar or we will remove your government.
Trump is a puppet to genocidal Greater Israel Zionists and Chevron.
