Rogoff now thinks the Yuan will be a reserve currency in 5 years, because
1. current US fiscal policy and trade wars are weakening the dollar's global anchor status. But we are entering a multipolar world, and the yuan becomes a primary reserve asset alongside the dollar and euro. 2. it it is becoming "unnatural" for Asia to remain so dollar-centric when China is the region's dominant trading partner.
3. He expects a "Nixon Shock" style transition where Asia moves into a yuan-bloc.

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang breaks the myth:
The US–China AI competition isn’t about one chip or one model, it’s a five-layer ecosystem.
Energy, chips, infrastructure, models, applications.
And on four of them, China is already ahead or catching up faster than sanctions can stop.
When America bans, China builds.
When export controls tighten, China accelerates.
You don’t slow a rival by locking the gate,
you only teach them how to build their own house.
