China Seeks to Shape Global Expansion of Chinese Manufacturers Through "Industrial Diplomacy"

Beijing is encouraging Chinese companies to build plants in "friendly" countries while discouraging investments in others, in a form of "industrial diplomacy." Developed nations and the Global South are eagerly awaiting Chinese factories on their markets, which would create new jobs and transfer technologies. Given the appeal of Chinese manufacturing investments, Beijing can use them as a geopolitical tool to reward some countries and punish others.

The construction of new plants by BYD—the world’s largest electric vehicle producer—highlights the countries China deems both friendly and investment-attractive. These include Brazil, Thailand, Mexico, Turkey, Hungary, and Indonesia.

Global Central Banks Continue to Ditch the Dollar – Gold Takes Its Place

Data shows that after 2014 and the first sanctions against Russia, central banks quietly began reducing dollar holdings in favor of gold. Post-2022, this shift accelerated dramatically—gold now surpasses both the dollar and euro in central bank reserves worldwide.

- 2014-2021: Gradual move away from USD after the first sanctions on Russia.
- 2022-Present: Historic gold accumulation as Western asset freezes prove any currency can be weaponized .
- Current Status: Gold holdings exceed USD+EUR in many emerging market reserves.

The de-dollarization trend is now institutionalized—even allies diversify when they see reserve currencies becoming political tools.
