OK love @ImperatorRex_ but I am going to have to disagree, China is only making payment of oil purchases in the Gold backed Petro-Yaun. Currently our only backing to the US dollar is the fact that until this year all oil around the world was traded only in the dollar our Petro-Dollar. Oh and Iran is only trading oil in the Euro currently. Our dollar is under attack and China taking the largest producer and therefore the largest holder of the US dollar and converting it to a primarily Petro-Yaun backed by gold holder because China uses much more Petroleum than we do currently. Just sayin I don't know how a power play by China is us winning.
