    WASHINGTON — China is on track to become the first purchaser of notes issued by the International Monetary Fund, a move that would diversify its foreign asset holdings and could give the IMF’s quasi-currency more clout.

    The IMF on Wednesday said China has signed an agreement to purchase approximately $50 billion in notes from the fund. The notes are denominated in Special Drawing Rights, a quasi-currency issued by the fund and promoted by China as a potential replacement for the dollar.

      BORING………………..

      You wouldn’t find it so boring if you knew it was just the beginning of the end of your lifestyle.

      CHINA IS THE SUPERPOWER Reply:

      Well, now that China (AKA MODERN MODEL FOR FUTURISTIC SLAVE STATE)
      is the defacto superpower of the world (what percentage of your products weren’t made there?)
      it is a important step for our new world power to commit to the NEW WORLD CURRENCY – which they just did

      the dollar will be disassembled in an orderly fashion, how the satanic elite plan, along with the Euro, Yen, Pound, Ruble, Yuan, etc…. as you see happening now with massive bailouts=inflation that will soon hit hard=collapse of world currencies= MORE OVERSIGHT and replacement with a more “stable currency” aka SDR special drawing rights aka cashless monetary system that enables none of your purchases to even be anonymous again, how convenient for DATAMING (don’t know word? look it up, important)

      IMF SDR’s Can suck a fat one.

      China thinks they are so smart dumping the dollar, then they run and trade it for another Monopoly Dollar from the same printer, the same people running IMF and Worldbank that run Federal Reserve and US corporations.

      Awwwww, I’m sorry little china, I didn’t mean to give you the fake money, here, take this piece of fake money instead.

      MORONS… keep your own money, keep buying oil, make friends with Russia and OPEC nations, then collectively lower the value of the Dollar and Euro.

      Ding Ding Reply:

      I’ll go out on a limb here and suggest China is more privy to the current state of geopolitics than you.

      josh Reply:

      I’ll go out on a limb with you and we can have a gay old time discussing how great the bailouts of the insurance comapanies and hedgefunds were for the american people, smartass.

      China isnt supporting IMF/Worldbank because it is best for China’s people.

      They are doing it because it is best for the Chinese elite who run the factories that depend on exports to keep them fat and happy as they inflate their currency with artificially low interest rates and devalue the money that their slave workers save up over time.

      Fat chance saving for your future when your government devalues your hard earned money….

      We already have a “one-world currency.” 85% of world trade is conducted in USD…

      And you see this one $50B transaction as an end to that? I can only imagine the significance you give to the $200B AIG got.

    3. WTF? Says:

      I hope I am wrong but I look for the dollar to die by the end of this year. This is another step towards its demise. I fear that very soon the fecal material will impact with great velocity upon the rotary oscillating air-circulation apparatus.

      dollar crash would be a good thing for the whole world, but the elite won’t let it happen, at least not until they are ready…

      No, actually I’m a redneck from SC struggling to deal with my sadly cynical, yet clear view of what is coming and thus I usually endeavor to put a slightly humorous twist on my ruminations to anesthetise the depression these realizations inevitably create. My family genealogy is from England though, but you have to go back 400 years to get there. By the way, thanks for the compliment.

      This has been speculated for at least a year. $50 billion is a rather small drop but the dollar will be in trouble in the intermediate.

      curt—-thats what I was gonna say. $50 billion ain’t s---. Chump change.

      Ding Ding Reply:

      It’s a signal.

      They aren’t gonna buy $500 billion worth straight off the bat are they. Not if they have any sense.

      They’re looking for ways to dump the two trillion dollars on hand before they become monopoly money.
      The Chinks are all over the globe putting billion dollar deals together with the Africans for minerals,the Iranian’s for gas,etc.

    12. NAVET Says:

      I am curious, what currency are the Chinese using to purchase these SDRs? A world currency is still many years off if that is the goal, and I am talking 20-30 years or more. So, while this may be a step in that direction, it is an extremely small one. I think that this is more of a matter of China getting rid of the dollars she holds. This is easily seen by China’s purchase of gold the past few days; gold actually climbed while the markets receded. That rarely happens. I would be far more worried that the dollar is going to tank than I would that a world currency is soon coming. Now, a new world reserve currency is definitely only a couple of years away, but that is not the same thing.

    18. Ding Ding Says:

      The dollar can only go one way, and that is through the floor. Unless absolutely everything the US government has done, and is doing, with the Fed, is completely reversed. Not likely. As Peter Schiff says, brace for impact.

      This would not be happening unless the American Government condones it, just another Joke on you by the joker whose real name is “Bill Clinton; Obama being his store front hoodlum; (“a thug or gangster”), or flunky; (“an assistant who does menial work”).
      With Obama and his crooked politicians attempting to strong arm the American public, along with illegal Hispanics from all the nations south of the border coming in to fleece; (to deprive of money or belongings by fraud, hoax, or the like, or to swindle Americans, leaving less than a little gleanings for its citizens.
      The sell out started long ago when the Clinton’s where still no-body’s, and has accelerated over the last few years at an alarming rate. And now this . . . this is nothing more than Clinton politics in effect, and with Hillary in office doing nothing as Secretary of State, Her role in politics is supporting Bill Clinton, not Barrack whos sane Obama. We can only assume we will be a nation for the next twelve years or less.
      My hat goes off, along with my shirt, and my shoes for barrack whos sane Obama I mean Clinton. A real question for the American People would be; when do the gloves come off . . .

      I am told (maybe wrongly?) that the value of the derivatives and futures market that the Chinese have just burst the bubble of (see article above) is $5000 Trillion or 100x the whole world’s GDP? This makes everything else chickenfeed in comparison?

      That just leaves us wondering what fraction of that is with the PRC and will be defaulted on and will it lead to others doing the same and thereby bringing the whole lot down?

      Scary stuff indeed.

    33. Jessy J Says:

      Alot of you are very confused as to why china would do this, the really really simplified version is china owns a fawking ton of usd, this recession caused the dollar to suck the bag. So as you can see an investor perspective would be why would you want to continue buying a currency that is sucking and will continue to suck for some time just because its considered the unofficial international currency. So china buys a currency that one country/union doesn’t directly affect it(more security).

      I entirely agree with the statements regarding gold and those who are usually on the wrong side of the metal, as articulated by Peter. However, I think the timing was unfortunate. The comments may enhance the coming pullback in gold. Hopefully, there will be another event to help push gold back above $1000.
