The United States has plundered global wealth by exploiting the dollar's dominance
"he grim reality has led people, amidst the panic, to realize that the United States has used the U.S. dollar's hegemony to plunder the world's wealth
[...]
The U.S. dollar is losing people's confidence. The world, acting democratically and lawfully through a global financial organization, urgently needs to change the international monetary system based on U.S. global economic leadership and U.S. dollar dominance."
-- Shi Jianxun, professor at Shanghai's Tongji University, comment in People's Daily
