China and Australia have been in FTA (Free Trade Agreement) negotiations since 2005. Now China and Australia are rushing and get an agreement set between them.
China has signed FTA agreements with 31 countries so far. There are 18 trade zones. They have been expanding the use of Yuan with those agreements. The U.S. dollar used to be the currency traded between every country for all goods. That is why the U.S. dollar had always been in demand and accepted everywhere.
Portion from the signed agreements link above:
To understand what China has been doing since 2008, here is an article from 2009 how China began expanding the accepting of Yuan in trade and agreements they made. Since then China has set up Yuan exchanges and has been trading without the U.S. dollar involved. I have written about China's agreements with Brazil and all the other BRICS and the dropping of the U.S. dollar between them. Last Year BRICS formed an emergency currency exchange between them. Last year, they did a cross border loan exchange before the RMB became international. In 2012, BRICS signed a local currency exchange agreement.
China has been discussing with Australia a FTA but has never gotten anything worked out between them. But now both are wanting to rush an agreement between them. Why is that? What do they know that we don't?
I believe it comes to what is happening with Russia and Ukraine. I believe China and Australia knows the U.S. dollar is going to be imploding soon when Russia completely drops it in trading. After Russia drops the dollar, those countries that were too fearful of the wrath of the U.S. (they saw what happened to Iraq, Libya, tried on Syria) from an invasion and destruction of the country, if one dared dropped the dollar. We will see many countries trading with Russia, including Europe (if they want gas) through Gold, Ruble or maybe even the Yuan for goods/energy.
From link: Notice almost every sentence has something about 'rushing, hurried, as soon as possible'.
China and Australia on Saturday voiced hope to hasten negotiations on a Free Trade Agreement (FTA) and strike a deal as soon as possible.
"It is a common aspiration of businessmen from both countries and also an important consensus reached by leaders of the two countries to speed up the FTA negotiations," Wang said.
Wang called on both governments to meet halfway and show flexibility in the FTA negotiations to make tangible progress at an early date.
For his part, Abbott said development of economic and trade relations between Australia and China had moved rapidly in recent years and he expected an FTA deal at the earliest possible opportunity.
Right there... the words being used says a LOT! The article does not mention a currency that would be used. But all you have to do is read this article out on April 11 2014 about Sydney becoming an official offshore trading exchanged for the Yuan.
Portion from above article:
With all of this information above. Those who are paying attention know something is happening with the U.S. dollar and it is not good. The rush to get an FTA agreement between Australia and China, with China, Australia opening up an international currency exchange in Sydney proves the writing is on the wall for the U.S. dollar.
The only questions left are: How much longer does the dollar have? How soon will Russia, China, Middle East, and Australia drop the dollar completely for trade between them?
