When Biden threatened to kick China out of the dollar for doing business with Russia, Trump came out separately saying he was going to punish countries that don't use the dollar as a reaction to countries de-dollarizing. The saying goes one man's hero is another man's villain. But how can one tell what is universally recognized as evil? Evil can have two contradictory thoughts at a single time.
Thailand does more business with Asian countries than with the US and Europe. On top of that the US isn't opening its market more to even close allies. So why would Thailand stick with the dollar especially if it's more of a hassle using it as an intermediary? The US and Europe are closing their doors not opening them. There was that article about the "Axis of Evasion..." That's a lie because countries in the global south are still trading with Russia so it's not just a few countries only doing business with each other. Then on top of that I read that Europe is still buying Russian energy. It's just through intermediaries now so it doesn't get labelled as Russian in origin.
The West claims China has hollowed out their manufacturing. Then what do they have to trade and sell to the world? Only expensive advanced technology that China use to buy but most everyone else can't afford. China is manufacturing and selling what developing countries need. Why was it when Kamala Harris went to Africa to court them away from China that she had to land at a Chinese built airport, travel on a Chinese built road, and speak to African countries from a Chinese built building? Because the US and the West don't do that. Why is that they waited until China did it first? It's because the West saw it as a waste of time and money to help countries that they saw as strategically worthless to them to help develop. Why do they fear Belt and Road? Because it's about helping those countries the West chose to ignore. Why now then? All you have to do is look at how the US and West give so much attention to island nations. They're votes in the UN they can count on. You don't need a lot of money to get them to your side.
