美议员：禁止东大使用美元进行交易结算，东大网友：还有这好事？

Core Viewpoint - The proposed U.S. legislation aims to impose severe sanctions on China by freezing assets and cutting off dollar settlement services, but it may inadvertently boost the internationalization of the Renminbi [3][5][9]. Group 1: U.S. Legislative Actions - The U.S. Senate introduced a bill to freeze Chinese citizens' and companies' assets in the U.S. and remove Chinese banks from the SWIFT system [3][5]. - The bill reflects a unilateral approach by the U.S. to maintain its financial dominance, but it may backfire and harm the U.S. economy instead [4][6]. Group 2: China's Response and Strategy - China has been preparing for such sanctions by promoting the international use of the Renminbi and expanding its role in global trade [7][9]. - The introduction of digital Renminbi has significantly improved cross-border payment efficiency by 90% and reduced costs by 50% [7]. Group 3: Global Trends and Shifts - There is a noticeable trend of de-dollarization globally, with the U.S. dollar's share in global trade settlements dropping from 71% to 47.2% over the past 20 years, while the Renminbi's share increased from 0.5% to 2.88% [7][8]. - Countries like South Korea and Vietnam are increasingly opting for Renminbi in trade settlements, indicating a shift in preference even among traditional U.S. allies [8]. Group 4: Future Implications - The U.S. sanctions may accelerate the Renminbi's internationalization, challenging the dollar's dominance in the global economy [9][11]. - Continued unilateral actions by the U.S. could lead to deeper economic challenges for itself, as history shows that such approaches often exacerbate global tensions [11].
