历史性突破出现在刚刚过去的3月。数据显示，截至3月底，中东地区对华原油贸易的人民币结算占比已历史性突破41%，人民币首次成为中东石油贸易中仅次于美元的第二大结算货币。同时，美元在中东石油结算中的占比降至52%，跌破55%的心理关口，仅仅在几年前，其还占据着90%以上的绝对垄断地位。

在此之前，2026年1月1日，伊朗正式宣布对华原油100%人民币结算，彻底绕开SWIFT。2月，全球最大的石油公司沙特阿美对中国出口的原油中已有45%使用人民币结算。

I don't know where they got their sources from, but I think people are reading it from somewhere. It seems reasonable to me. People can believe it or not, but don't ask me to look for more sources. It's not my job to look things up for everyone else.

Please, if you have more question. use Chinese, look this up on Weibo or Weixin. Google is not the answer to everything.

Didn’t Melania come from Slovenia?

Portugal and spin have very different mindset from many other Western European countries. It’s fo this reason they are more practical in accepting other cultures who aren’t similar to them and better suited with dealing with the rie of non western powers. Ever wondered why Macao never had any issues with integration with China or anti Chinese sentiments at all? If anything it’s the opposite . Compare this to non mainland chinese (and dominant Chinese) territories Hong Kong, Taiwan, or Singapore to some extent . Then you get a proper picture .

So Emiratis are now openly threatening US govt with Petroyuan talk.


As for others. I understand the excitement, but this is not the thread for you to write meaningless off topic one liners.

The Chinese yuan has appreciated over 6 percent against the US dollar in the past year, breaking past the 6.82 mark this month. Dollar-denominated investments, once seen as a ‘sure bet,’ are now leaving many Chinese investors with paper losses.
