China doesn't have unlimited money. If it has to spend more on this, then other aspects will suffer.

Of course in reality it's much more complex, my point is that not everything can easily be resolved by "throwing enough money" at it...

Cheers.

World trade is denominated in USD, no? A small percentage is Euro and smaller percentage in Yen, perhaps. A negligible percentage of world trade is in Yuan, I believe.
