CICC’s Miao Yanliang: Four Fundamental Shifts Reshape Yuan Internationalization

Miao's framing matters less as a yuan-bullish signal than as a window into how Chinese official-economy thinking is bundling dollar-trust erosion with trade, payments and AI into a single structural thesis — a narrative shift that shapes policy and institutional positioning over years, not quarters. The AI component is the novel element: it links monetary internationalization to technological infrastructure rather than purely financial channels. Whether that framing hardens into concrete cross-border settlement or reserve practice is the open question.
