China is sprinting its testing on the digital yuan. It will not take too long before the digital Yuan is executed and it believes China will become less independent of the US Dollar.

Is this a good thing or will China become even more economically powerful and therefore a threat? https://www.worldcoinindex.com/nl/news/chinese-central-bank-deputy-governor-wants-china-to-accelerate-pboc-rollout
And We already know that China is aiming for global domination specially in terms of economy, and I am sure they are seeing this digital yuan as a possible many tools they can use to entice more countries to go away from the domination of the US Dollar in international commerce. However, many countries right now are also starting to get wary of the intention of China, at least in part this is exposed with the pandemic. Many countries are now starting to resist the influence of China. Many are now seeing that China can be a trap. Personally, I don't see China to be the one to dominate of the vacuum that will be left by USA in the global commerce, that position is reserved for another (still emerging) entity.


FIAT is already 90% digital. Making it 100% digital won't really change anything.

The Chinese YUAN is already a powerful currency because it is backed by the Chinese manufacturing while the US dollar is backed by the US military. For now USD is slightly more powerful but this might change very quickly. I would say CNY deserves to be the world reserve currency more than the USD now because it is China that makes most stuff for us, not any other country.

A currency is and should be only as powerful as the manufacturing power it is backed by and CNY just delivers that unlike the USD.

There is speculation that the Chinese digital yuan is seen as a potential rival to the US dollar as a global reserve currency. It is expected that the digital yuan will be used more widely in international trade and could potentially reduce the US dollar's dominance in the global financial system.

And another reason is to increase efficiency and reduce the cost of international trade which could be a threat to the US.
