aint nothing wrong with china holding dollars whilst there's still such strong economic links atm; it provides incentives for some of the US elite from joining the war party and keeping to the trade party.Russia removing the dollar investments is a good action. However that they are holding Euros means that they are still not safe
EU is not a trustworthy partner, as we can see from them following US orders to stop the CAI deal and sanction China
At this point Russia should consider the EU as another US proxy
Btw China isnt going to drop the dollar. Aint happening anytime soon. Chinese love dollars even more than Americans themselves like it
Japan's government plans to donate 1.2 million AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccines to Taiwan to help the island following a rise in cases, Japan's public broadcaster NHK reported.
Japan's government will begin preparations for vaccine shipments from Friday, NHK said.
Japan as always does things the opposite way..
My understanding of the situation is that Japan has more than enough doses of vaccine on order, so it's happy to share some of its current stock.
Apparently AZ doses may be flown over tomorrow.

They actually have millions and millions of doses in storage for several months now and they sit there unused. This is mostly because of the ultra slow, inefficient bureacracy and different levels of governments not communicating with each other. Everything is being done with paper, fax, pens and other such glorious "hi-tech" technologies...
To give you an idea about how slow they are, AFAIR Japan was in danger of having some of its doses expiring due to how long the vaccines were in storage..
