Ambitious? Sure. Realistic? Not even close. In this episode, Chris breaks down why Beijing’s long-term dream runs straight into reality: heavy currency manipulation, unreliable economic data, an export-dependent economy, and looming demographic problems. Competition with the dollar isn’t a bad thing—but reserve status requires trust, transparency, and balance. Until China fixes its structural issues, no one’s lining up to park their reserves in the yuan.
