Default Re: China OVERTAKES the US as Brazil's Largest Trading Partner

Hi peaceandlove,

It's amazing how the mainstream media is so far behind in what's going down.
I saw on the TV today and yesterday comments on the deal being brokered by China and Brazil to use their own currencies for common trade.

I posted about this ages ago and the idea is not a new one, Brazil already does this with Argentina and other Latin American countries:

This has been in the pipeline for some time and only now the press want to say something.

Best regards,

Steve

Brazil and China will work towards using their own currencies in trade transactions rather than the US dollar, according to Brazil’s central bank and aides to Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, Brazil’s president.

The move follows recent Chinese challenges to the status of the dollar as the world’s leading international currency.
