China's Stablecoin Shift Could Boost Yuan's Global Reach
China is reportedly on the brink of a significant policy shift that may see the introduction of yuan-backed stablecoins, a move designed to bolster the international standing of its currency. With global financial markets increasingly leaning towards digital currencies, Beijing's latest plan could mark a pivotal moment in the international adoption of the yuan. The Chinese government is set to consider a proposal to allow the issuance of stablecoins pegged to the yuan, which would aim to challenge the dominance of the US dollar and its associated stablecoins in global markets. The proposal, expected to be reviewed by the State Council, reflects Beijing's ongoing strategy to expand the yuan's reach beyond its traditional borders, positioning it as a competitor to the greenback. As part of its broader push for digital currency integration, China could allow key financial hubs such as Hong Kong and Shanghai to be the first to implement the new stablecoin systems. These cities are already at the forefront of China's broader efforts to foster the growth of digital currencies, and the stablecoin initiative could further solidify their roles as global financial centres. ADVERTISEMENT Discussions surrounding the adoption of yuan-backed stablecoins are expected to feature prominently during high-level meetings, including the upcoming Shanghai Cooperation Organisation Summit. This gathering will provide an important platform for Chinese leaders to outline their vision for the future of digital currencies, while signalling their intent to shape international policy on the use of stablecoins. The planned move is in direct contrast to China's earlier stance on cryptocurrency regulation. In recent years, the country has imposed strict measures on the use of private cryptocurrencies, citing concerns about financial stability and capital outflows. The proposed policy reversal regarding stablecoins marks a dramatic shift in strategy, moving from a position of stringent control to one of potential global leadership in digital currency innovation. Stablecoins, which are digital currencies pegged to stable assets like fiat currencies or commodities, have become increasingly popular among investors seeking to minimise volatility. In particular, US dollar-backed stablecoins have grown exponentially, with major players like Tether and USD Coin dominating the market. The success of these assets has prompted China to explore ways in which the yuan can gain a similar foothold in the emerging digital economy. By introducing a yuan-backed stablecoin, China would not only be promoting its digital currency but also attempting to influence how digital currencies are adopted globally. The move could significantly shift the dynamics of international trade and finance, particularly in Asia. As countries continue to look for alternatives to US dollar-dominated systems, China's push for a digital yuan is increasingly seen as a strategic move to improve its influence over global financial markets. Key stakeholders in the financial sector have already begun to take notice of China's evolving stance on digital currencies. Financial institutions operating in Hong Kong and Shanghai are expected to play an integral role in the rollout of yuan-backed stablecoins, with implications for both domestic and cross-border transactions. Additionally, blockchain technology providers are closely monitoring developments in this space, anticipating a surge in demand for stablecoin-related infrastructure as China accelerates its digital currency ambitions. The anticipated approval of yuan-backed stablecoins would also contribute to the development of China's central bank digital currency, the digital yuan. While the digital yuan has already been tested in select regions, the integration of stablecoins would expand the use of digital yuan products, making it more accessible to international markets. This could significantly enhance the usability of China's digital assets, providing a stable, digital alternative to traditional fiat currencies for global trade and investment. At the same time, China's global competitors, particularly the United States and the European Union, are likely to view this move with caution. While the yuan-backed stablecoin could disrupt traditional financial systems, it could also prompt a race to establish new regulatory frameworks and digital currencies to safeguard the dominance of the US dollar and the euro in global markets.

How To Take Forward The Latest Improvement In India-China Bilateral Relations?
By Nitya Chakraborty India-China political relations have started improving giving all the indications that the leaderships of the two countries with the largest population in the world, are ready for building stable relationship after an uneasy period of five years since the Galwan killings on the border in 2020 in which 20 Indian soldiers lost their lives. The process of healing began from last year itself but the course has intensified since US President Donald Trump started his tariff war and imposed 25 percent tariff on Indian exports to the USA and announced additional tariff of 25 per cent as a penalty for buying Russian oil to be effective from August 27 this year. The initial 25 per cent tariff has already taken effect. President Trump's personal relations with the Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi worsened since the ceasefire of the four day India Pakistan war announced on May 10 at 5 PM. Trump claimed credit for compelling both the warring governments to opt for the ceasefire which Modi consistently opposed. The India-US political relations got a further jolt with the sudden improvement in Pak-US relations. Trump hosted lunch in his Oval office for the Pak General Asim Munir who during his stay in USA threatened of a nuclear strike against India. It was in this deteriorating state of India-US relationship, Chinese foreign minister paid a three day visit from August 18 to 20 and met Prime Minister Narendra Modi as also external affairs minister Dr. S Jaishankar and the National Security Adviser Ajit Modi told the Chinese foreign minister that the stable, predictable and constructive ties between India and China will contribute significantly to regional as well as global prosperity. PM is visiting Tianjin in China to attend the summit of Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) to be hosted by the Chinese President Xi Jinping on August 31 and September 1 next. Indian Prime Minister will have bilateral talks with both President XI Jinping as also the Russian President Vladimir Putin who will be attending. The question is what is the basic imperative of the Prime Minister's sudden hobnobbing with both China and Russia just after getting the snub from President Trump on both political and trade tariff issues? Is it a jerk reaction to the US attitude to India or it is a part of a deliberate calibrated strategy to build India's strategic autonomy to look after India's national interests without being dependent on any of the big three powers USA, China and Russia. This issue is of crucial importance as Indian PM will be attending Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) summit this month where he will discuss India's global strategy with both President Xi and President Putin. This will be followed by the US dominated QUAD meet in India hosted by Narendra Modi by the end of this year. The QUAD schedule is still on. It has not been postponed. In 2026, Prime Minister will host the BRICS summit in India. President XI and even President Putin might be attending. In any case, President Putin is scheduled to arrive in India by year end as a part of his bilateral visit. As regards China, the official Chinese view regarding India-China relations has undergone changes in the last one year and more so in the last two months in the context of the deterioration of India-US relations. The Chinese commentators have taken note of the recent moves by both sides in normalizing relations. For instance both governments are expediting visa facilitation; talks on resuming direct flights are reportedly underway; the two sides are discussing resuming border trade of domestic goods. Further multiple friction points along the Line of Actual Control have seen disengagement with reinforced buffer arrangements; and both the Working Mechanism for Consultation & Coordination on India-China Border Affairs (WMCC) and the Talks Between the Special Representatives of China and India on the Boundary Question have become regularized. Together, these steps show that both countries are prioritizing stability and embracing a practical approach of 'managing differences while expanding common ground.' According to Global Times, the official English daily of the Chinese Government, several factors explain why relations are improving now. First, profound shifts in the international landscape have heightened the shared desire for multipolarity and strategic autonomy, particularly regarding BRICS cooperation. With supply chains being reconfigured and geopolitical flashpoints multiplying, major Asian economies are seeking to reduce bloc-based risks and preserve policy flexibility. Second, structural complementarities and mutual security concerns create intrinsic momentum. As two large economies with complementary markets, China and India have significant opportunities to collaborate in manufacturing ecosystems, the digital economy, green transition, public health and poverty reduction. Third, regional and multilateral platforms provide responsibility and traction. Frameworks such as BRICS, the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation and the G20 enable the two countries to coordinate on development priorities. Practical collaboration amplifies the voice of the Global South and prevents differences from diluting broader cooperation. As the Chinese official media sees it, a stable border is foundational for regional development; any escalation raises costs and constrains cooperation. Wang Yi's visit for boundary talks to India at this juncture carries substantive weight. The boundary question is central to the relationship and underpins further progress. This comment was made by GT on August 19 issue the day the Chinese foreign minister met the Indian PM Narendra Modi. Together, China and India account for roughly 2.8 billion people. Expanding cooperation in lower-sensitivity areas of supply chains, cross-border e-commerce, healthcare, clean energy and connectivity can boost jobs and investment while enhancing regional supply-chain resilience and efficiency. In the fields of technological and green transition synergy, complementarities in digital infrastructure, renewables, energy storage and electric mobility offer practical avenues for aligning projects. Chinese government wants to channelize more investments in India. New Delhi is careful about the sectors where national security is involved. But in the latest economic survey, the finance ministry has favored increased investments from China. Both governments can discuss the sectors and clear concerns about national security. Once the process starts and other areas open up, there will be more trust between the two governments and the delicate border disputes can be tackled more effectively for arriving at an understanding. The Chinese official media also underlines that, the gradual improvement of bilateral relations is conducive to increasing mutual trust. From a broader perspective, the bilateral relations have to be seen as a part of a long term strategy by India. Only then the border issues can be solved amicably. Prime Minister Narendra Modi has to give a relook at the contours of Indian foreign policy and reset the priorities on the basis of strategic autonomy and multipolarity. India will be able to talk to all three big powers USA, China and Russia with strength and conviction. Just as India should not be a part of Trump's global strategy,, similarly, India can't align with China and Russia in their respective strategies to further their national interests. India is the country with the largest population in the world and it will soon become the fourth largest economy globally. This nation of 1.44 billion with more than 5000 years of rich civilization behind it has the capacity to move on its own with flexibility to deal with all including the big powers. It is to be seen whether Narendra Modi imparts a dynamic shift in his foreign policy in that direction or goes back to his old ways after a small gap due to some political compulsions. .Indian Prime Minister is on test.
