As everyone knows, the reason why the United States is the world hegemon is not only because it has great military strength, but also because its economic strength is also the largest in the world. And a big reason for its strong economic strength is because of the hegemony of the dollar. In the past, major international transactions such as energy needed to be traded in US dollars, which made the United States only need to sit and print money to firmly occupy the hegemonic position of the world economy.
Once an economic crisis occurs, the United States only needs to print money, transfer the risk to all countries around the world, easily avoid the crisis, and by the way, cut a handful of leeks from various countries, to put it bluntly, all countries work for the United States. In the past, countries dared to be angry but did not dare to speak, but now with the decline of the United States and the rise of China, Russia, India and other countries, de-dollarization has become a trend.
Previously, Brazil, the largest country in South America, announced that it would replace the dollar with the yuan, becoming another country that began to de-dollarize. In the face of Brazil's bravery, Korean netizens commented: "What's wrong with Brazil?".Is this crazy?”
Some South Korean netizens said: "All countries are strengthening their ties with China, but we have to follow the instructions of the United States and cut off contacts with China!"There are even Korean netizens who bluntly said: "South Korea also uses the won to settle transactions, so that the value of the won can increase!.""Between the words, it seems that South Korea really has the ability and influence to do this, but it seems that South Korea has forgotten that the United States will allow it
South Korea is a vassal of the United States, and the US troops stationed in South Korea are protecting South Korea, and South Korea does not dare and cannot de-dollarize!
Countries are gradually de-dollarizing because they do not want to be held hostage by the United States, and countries dare to do so because they do not have any leverage to be manipulated by the United States. But South Korea is different, why is it able to keep peace now?The main reason is that the presence of US troops in South Korea makes North Korea dare not act rashly.
It can be said that the current South Korea is not at war because of the existence of the United States, and it has not been annexed by its next-door neighbor, not because of how powerful South Korea is. It is precisely for this reason that South Korea is actually subject to the United States, and no, South Korea even has wartime command in the hands of the United States.
Even life and death have to depend on others, in such a situation, you South Korea dare to de-dollarize?South Korea does not dare and cannot de-dollarize. Once the United States abandons South Korea, everyone can guess what awaits South Korea. As Korean netizens said: "We have no choice but to follow the United States to the black!."”
This is the sorrow of small countries, which are only pawns in the game of great powers from beginning to end, and have no choice at all.
