All the same, that the dollar's reign as the world's dominant currency is drawing to a close is no longer in doubt.

The Yuan is heavily tied to China's ownership of America's debt. If When the value of the dollar plummets, China will be hard hit, and they own so much of our debt that dumping it hurts them as much (or more) that it would hurt us.
