And a Chinese era begins!

Can't think of a more effective way to extend one's colonial reach.

Maybe this indeed is the beginning of the end of the current US based hegemony.

Forget about what's more or less effective. How does this extend one's colonial reach at all?

Reading the whole article I am not sure if it has been written by a human. Maybe an algorithm or a translation from some other language.

It's a decidedly odd website. There's an article at the top titled "Meet Esther Rolle" -- an actress who died almost 20 years ago.

Not news. But while we’re on the subject, can someone explain why Zimbabwe’s Wikipedia page doesn’t list the Yuan as its currency?

    United States dollar (official for government),
    South African rand, and many other currenciesa, e.g. Botswana
    pula. Zimbabwe bond coins are used as a proxy for US dollar
    coins. Zimbabwe bond notes are set to be introduced in 2016.
