BRICS started to dedollarize its countries and trade with its own currencies included good old renminbi..

If you are an American countries like China and Japan purchase treasury certificates which allows the US to continue spending even though it is running up huge budget deficits.

There are plenty of countries in the world holding US treasuries. If China and Japan reduced their holdings gradually and by consequence evened the trade deficit, it would be a positive for the US.

Japan, which co-chairs this year's ASEAN+3 meeting with Indonesia, hopes to discuss a network of currency swap lines called the Chiang Mai Initiative Multilateralisation (CMIM).

Specifically, Tokyo is keen to propose a facility that enhances the use of existing currency swap lines and allows members to tap funds in emergencies, said three sources with direct knowledge of the matter.

Wao, what a tolerant approach if you know what SK finance leader(s) stated to Japanese ones, face to face, when the maturities of JPY/KWN currency swaps had came up...
