Since yesterday, Western media outlets have been deliberately distorting Xi Jinping’s announcement on Saturday, digging up an old speech he gave in 2024, recently republished in @QiushiJournal magazine.

They are either pretending not to understand or are afraid to understand the significance of what he said.

The Chinese president simply listed the attributes necessary for a financial powerhouse such as #China: a robust economic foundation, leading economic and technological power, and a credible and widely used currency.

He merely publicly confirmed what has been happening in the markets for almost a year, namely an appreciation of the #RMB against the USD, which signals a fundamental change of direction in China: a move away from deflation through reflation, i.e., by ceasing to print #Yuan to maintain the 7:1 parity with the dollar, and thus allowing the yuan to appreciate against the dollar.

The artificially low yuan of the past eight years has favored exports. In this respect, it has enabled China to improve its industrial production chain to the point of becoming the world leader, to move upmarket towards high-tech products with high added value, and to gain sufficient market share worldwide to continue this momentum.

Today, Xi Jinping has basically announced that China needs a strong yuan. In a domestic context where the authorities have been announcing for almost two years that they want to make domestic consumption a second engine of growth (alongside exports), this means that China will import more, not only raw materials but also finished products.

This is good news for the Chinese, whose purchasing power is increasing, but also for exporters around the world, if they know how to position themselves.

Ultimately, this creates the conditions for an economic recovery for the whole world, with China at its center.

This is good news, which the Western media will hide for as long as possible, so that a revival in Western exports to China is not attributed to the latter.

The weekend articles, which are (deliberately?) off-topic in treating the RMB as a reserve currency, reveal a fear in the West of a strong RMB, as a replica of the strong yen of the 1980s.

I don’t know if you are aware, but today the Rafah crossing was opened, or rather the Rafah crossing prison, which is the simplest and most truthful description. In front of the world, it is being said that the crossing has opened normally and that we are allowed to travel and return whenever we wish, but the reality is completely different from what is being reported in the news.

Only 100 people are allowed to leave per day, and those permitted to return to Gaza do not exceed 50 people. Even this return is not a right for everyone. It is restricted only to those who left Gaza after October 7. Anyone who left before that date is permanently barred from returning to Gaza. Worse still, anyone who leaves now is not allowed to return to the country again.

Even those who are supposedly eligible to return after October 7 are forced into an inhumane choice inside special interrogation rooms under military questioning. Either they are allowed to return to Gaza, or they are detained and banned from returning. There is no sense of safety and no guarantees, only fear and coercion.

The gate of the Rafah crossing itself has become a real prison gate, with barbed wire, surveillance cameras, snipers, and scenes we never imagined we would see at a place that is supposed to be a gateway to life. Here, we are not treated as human beings, but as numbers or threats.

What is happening is forced displacement, openly and without shame. Every means of life here is being destroyed step by step to force us to leave the city and depart with no return. It is one of the most vile policies being carried out against us, a policy of coercion and breaking, executed in front of the entire world, while we are expected to believe it is all normal procedures.

Let me spell this out for everyone:

The fact that China wants the world to use the Yuan as the reserve currency, and not the US Dollar, is de facto signaling that it will be backing the Yuan with Physical Gold.

China's (and Russia's) position is that the US Dollar is backed… https://t.co/SqvvHfLsyj
