Papers by Chinese Authors in American Scientific Journals Are Beginning to Use Chinese Currency in Lieu of Dollars. [View all]

My son has been visiting us for the Thanksgiving holidays. We've had some wonderful conversations; as he is leaving today, as we observe the collapse of the United States, I asked if he has been keeping up on his foreign languages, notably his Chinese, as we agreed China will dominate the world future previously dominated by the United States.

(He says he is.)

I came across today this paper: Real-World Usage, Emissions, and Costs of Hydrogen Fuel Cell Electric Truck Fleets Hao Lin, Pei Zhao, Fang Wang, Yiling Xiong, Weinan He, Limiao Zhang, Ye Wu, Jiming Hao, and Shaojun Zhang Environmental Science & Technology 2025 59 (46), 24755-24766.

The paper discusses financial (and environmental) cost. In most such papers I've read over many years, when economic costs are discussed, including papers by Chinese authors working in China, the dollar is the default reference currency. In this paper that is no longer true. The costs are given in CNY (Chinese Yuan).

It's part of the process of the collapse of the Untied States after the toxic ascendancy of the orange pedophile.

I advise young people to learn Chinese. They'll need it.

It's free fall folks.

History will not forgive us, nor should it.
