China Just Pulled the Trigger—Crippling the Chip war, Cut Off ASML & TSMC

In a move that’s caught the attention of global markets, China has officially integrated its digital yuan into cross-border payment systems involving ten ASEAN nations and six countries across the Middle East. This isn’t just a technical update—it’s a significant strategic shift that could impact how a large portion of the world trades and settles transactions. For the first time, an alternative to the US-dominated SWIFT system is being embraced on such a wide scale, giving over one-third of global trade volume the potential to bypass traditional Western-controlled financial rails.
The implications of this are far-reaching. The SWIFT system, headquartered in Belgium, has long been a cornerstone of global financial infrastructure, allowing countries, banks, and businesses to send secure payment instructions. But because it operates under Western oversight, especially from the US, it has also become a tool of economic leverage and, in some cases, pressure. Countries that fall afoul of US foreign policy have sometimes found themselves locked out of the global financial system, or severely restricted in how they can move money across borders.
By offering a parallel system that relies on the digital yuan, Beijing is building a path for countries to trade outside this framework. This isn’t just a symbolic gesture—it’s part of a broader plan to insulate China’s financial operations from US influence and sanctions. And it’s a plan that’s starting to get traction, especially among nations that already have strong economic ties with China.
