World Rebelling Against Dollar Domination
Black Agenda Radio with Margaret Kimberley and Glen Ford
23 Feb 2021

Speaking on the Sputnik Radio program “The Critical Hour,” Horne told hosts Wilmer Leon III and Garland Nixon that China is preparing to circulate a digital form of yuan to break the stranglehold of the dollar.
