    Actually if the US follows through with its hyperinflation plans, they could be very well able to match China in price for exports. I think the PRC is starting to grasp the general flow of world events now, and it looks like they will be left wiping the egg off their faces with buckets of worthless dollar reserves.

    SDRs were started in 1969. They are not new, but they are a world currency, just as gold was.
