China Expands Digital Yuan


Posted originally on Apr 3, 2026 by Martin Armstrong |  

China Yuan Currency

China has just taken another decisive step toward the future of money, and once again, the West is pretending this is simply about “payment efficiency.” The People’s Bank of China has now expanded its digital yuan program by adding 12 additional banks, bringing the total number of participating institutions to 22.

China launched the digital yuan back in 2019, and despite already having dominant digital payment systems like Alipay and WeChat Pay, they continue to push forward aggressively. The reason is simple. Those systems are private. The digital yuan is not. This is a direct liability of the central bank, meaning every transaction can be monitored, tracked, and ultimately controlled.

This latest expansion dramatically increases the infrastructure behind the system. These new banks will handle wallet creation, payments, and settlement, effectively embedding the digital yuan deeper into everyday economic life. This is how adoption is forced. Not by demand, but by integration.

What is equally important is what China is doing at the same time. They are cracking down on cryptocurrencies and banning stablecoins, eliminating any competing alternative that would allow citizens to transact outside the state-controlled system.

And this is where people need to understand what a central bank digital currency truly represents. I have warned repeatedly that CBDCs are not about innovation. They are about surveillance and control. Governments have long wanted the ability to monitor every transaction, track every movement of capital, and ultimately dictate how money can be spent. A digital currency allows them to do exactly that. You can impose spending limits, restrict purchases, freeze accounts instantly, and even enforce policy at the individual level.

China is simply the first to implement it at scale. The digital yuan has already processed trillions in transactions, and its expansion into cross-border systems shows the real objective. They are building an alternative financial architecture that bypasses the dollar system entirely.

You can see this clearly in projects like mBridge, where digital currencies are being used for international settlements outside of SWIFT. The goal is not just domestic control, but global influence. The more countries adopt this infrastructure, the less dependent they become on the existing Western financial system. At the same time, China is even moving toward making digital yuan holdings interest-bearing, further incentivizing adoption and transforming it into a full banking alternative. This is no longer just a payment tool. It is becoming the foundation of a parallel financial system.

Governments do not introduce these systems when confidence is high. They introduce them when confidence is collapsing and they need to regain control over capital flows. We are entering that phase now. The sovereign debt crisis is not going away. Governments are desperate to maintain control over capital as fiscal conditions deteriorate. A CBDC gives them the tool they have always wanted. Total visibility and total authority over money itself.

Democrats Losing Confidence in Their Own Party

Democratic Split

The latest polling data coming out on the Democratic Party is not just bad. It is historically weak, and what is even more telling is that the erosion is coming from within their own base. This is not the opposition attacking them. This is their own voters losing confidence, and that is always the beginning of a political fracture.

Recent polling shows the Democratic Party sitting at a net favorability of roughly -20, with more than 55% of Americans viewing the party unfavorably. At the same time, even among Democrats themselves, enthusiasm has collapsed compared to prior cycles. An AP-NORC poll found that support within the party has not recovered since the 2024 election loss, and even loyal voters are far less confident than they were historically.

The press will try to spin this as temporary dissatisfaction or “mid-cycle frustration,” but they fail to understand how cycles work. When you see declining confidence not just from independents but from the core base itself, that signals internal division. The coalition begins to fracture because it was never truly unified in the first place. It was held together by opposition, not by shared vision.

The Democratic Party has become a coalition of competing interests that cannot coexist long-term. You have the progressive faction pushing aggressively left, while a large portion of the traditional base remains far more moderate. Even internal surveys acknowledge that the average Democratic voter is far less extreme than the activist wing that dominates policy and media narratives.

You can already see the cracks forming. Infighting is becoming more aggressive, particularly in key races, where Democrats are now attacking one another before even facing the opposition. This is exactly what happens before a political realignment. The party turns inward, and the fragmentation accelerates.

The Republican Party has consolidated into a more unified base, while the Democrats have expanded into a broader coalition that is inherently unstable. The more ideologically diverse the coalition becomes, the harder it is to maintain cohesion as confidence declines.

This is the early stage of a political restructuring and the death of the Democratic Party. When a party loses the confidence of its own base, it begins to splinter. Factions emerge, new movements form, and eventually the old structure can no longer hold.

I have stated before that the Democratic Party, as it currently exists, is unlikely to survive intact into the next major political cycle.

Americans Do NOT Want War

Illusion of Peace

The latest polling coming out of the United States on the war with Iran should be a wake-up call to anyone paying attention. This is not a divided country cautiously debating foreign policy. This is an overwhelming rejection. The people do not want this war, and the data is not even close.

A new CNN poll shows that 66 percent of Americans disapprove of the war, with just 33 percent approving. Even worse, only about one-third believe there is any clear plan behind the conflict. At the same time, a Reuters/Ipsos poll found that 66 percent of Americans want the war ended immediately, even if objectives are not achieved. Only 27 percent support continuing the conflict. When two-thirds of the population is willing to walk away from a war unfinished, that tells you everything about public sentiment.

Another survey shows that 60 percent of Americans disapprove of the military strikes themselves, confirming that opposition is not just about execution but about the decision to go to war in the first place. Pew Research similarly found that 61 percent disapprove of how the conflict is being handled and 59 percent say the decision to use force was wrong.

Only 14 percent support sending ground troops, while 62 percent oppose it outright. Another poll shows just 7 percent support a large-scale ground war. Meanwhile, 68 percent oppose deploying troops entirely.

Step back and look at the pattern. Across CNN, Reuters/Ipsos, Pew, YouGov, and others, the conclusion is identical. Most Americans oppose the war. Most Americans oppose escalation. Most Americans want it to end immediately. This is not a partisan divide. Even within political bases, support is fractured.

Wars are rarely supported when they begin until they are framed as necessary. But when the public senses there is no clear objective, no defined end, confidence collapses. You cannot wage war abroad while losing the support of your population at home. That is how empires overextend and ultimately fail.

The Great Separatist Movement

Alberta Separatist 2

I just returned from Canada, where I spoke in Calgary and in Vancouver. I found the support for Alberta separation rising rapidly. There is no doubt that Alberta will separate. The only question is how and when. I explained that while this may be an emotional issue in Canada, it is part of the GLOBAL SEPARATION TREND! This is simply a part of the reality behind the rise and fall of all nation-states. It is primarily driven by the age-old problem that centralized governments, once established, constantly seek to expand their power. Since Marxism, they have gone into socialism under the pretense that they care about you, but in fact, it is always about expanding their power.

Alberta 177000

The 177,000-signature threshold has now been passed. This has now officially cleared the requirement for an Alberta independence referendum on October 19th. As I said, given the model’s forecast from May through September, rising global tensions will increase the potential for Alberta to vote for separation during the October elections.

2025 World GDP

Here are the conservative GDP growth estimates for 2025. The greater the regulation, the lower the economic growth. This is what is the driver behind the rising separatist movements. Throw in the politics of rising LEFTIST-WOKE agendas, and this increases the pressure on separation. Then add in the migration issue, which has been driven to a large extent by the LEFT seeking to dilute the population with migrants who will always vote for free handouts, further reducing productivity and freedom.

Keating Paul

I have stated that I had a mandate from Hong Kong to negotiate with Australia to buy back an island in the 1990s, since Hong Kong was to be handed back to China in 1998. I met with then Prime Minister Paul Keating, and no matter what I said, he would not allow the people of Hong Kong to migrate to Australia. I finally asked bluntly if this was racist. He said no, but if they allowed them to enter Australia, they would vote Conservative, and he was a Labour government.

Here we have Angela Merkel, who has also just ADMITTED that she deliberately flooded Germany with third-world migrants to “stop the far right.” It was demographic warfare. It is outright TREASON that seeks to engage in economic warfare to alter the very culture of a country, all to retain power. Merkel stands as a traitor to all of Europe, demonstrating this by rejecting the people’s right to vote on her policy of opening the borders unilaterally, where the European people were never given the right to be heard on immigration, and they were lied to about the very purpose of allowing massive immigration without language or skills.

Video Playe

Joe Biden adopted the very same policy I wrote about before, which allowed all of the migrants to flood the United States, and now you have the Democrats led by Chuck claiming that minorities are too stupid to have an ID, so requiring ID will deprive them of the right to vote. This is pure TREASON, so the LEFT can suppress and subject those who want freedom and produce all so they can impose their Marxist agendas, no matter how many times they have always failed.

Schumer ECM

Chuck Schumer is also protecting non-Americans to retain power, and his insulting remarks that minorities are too stupid to have IDs when you cannot get anything, even food stamps, without an ID, let alone travel or drive, demonstrate that he does not care about the country or Americans. This is all about suppressing the RIGHT just as Merkel has publicly admitted. They want people to be economic slaves dependent on free handouts, all to retain personal power. It appears that Schumer’s career is going to end in destroying his reputation and legacy.

The stats are in, revealing that Biden has flooded the nation with over 6.4 million illegal immigrants who have entered the U.S., bringing the total to 13.7 million that the government must support. They are bankrupting cities, raising crime like never before, since countries are emptying their prisons and shipping them to Bidenville. The number of recorded immigrants flowing through the border is about 172,000 per month, and that does not count those whom Biden has been secretly flying in to hide the actual NUMBER.

Demographics_of_Undocumented_Immigrants_in_the_United_States_2019_Immigration

The true crisis is that the Democrats are allowing these people in to change the politics of this country because their policies have been unpopular and are as destructive as Communism once was to China and Russia. These new arrivals are less educated and lack skills other than raw manual labor. In 2018, 55% of immigrants had a bachelor’s degree. You will not find that among the flood of illegals today. Today, nearly 50% lack any high school training. Aside from their limited English skills, they are certainly not equipped for the new age of computers.  The scuttlebutt in Marxville (Washington, DC) is that the majority of these illegal immigrants are male, approaching 55%.

Trump continues to escalate pressure on U.S. allies and Iran, having recently claimed that Tehran’s new leadership had privately requested a ceasefire. He has warned that American trikes would continue until the Strait of Hormuz is fully reopened.

Civilian death tolls in the conflict continue to rise, with at least 1,598 in Iran, 1,2600 in Lebanon, and at least 50 across Gulf nations. Israel has reported at least 17 killed, and the U.S. death toll stands at 13 service members.

A recent poll by Quantus Insights indicates that 74% of registered US voters believe photo ID should be required by law to vote. Nearly half (49.3%) “strongly support” the measure, while only 16% stated they “strongly” or “somewhat” oppose such legislation.

This is a war against those who actually produce all for personal power. This is what is behind the separation trend we are witnessing everywhere, from the Middle East and Europe to Canada and the United States.
