“Can you sanction 185 countries to force them back under the thumb of the dollar?”
BRICS‑backed payments network now spans 185 countries
The BRICS-linked Cross-Border Interbank Payments System (CIPS) has expanded across 185 countries, allowing international payments in Chinese yuan without using the U.S. dollar, according to data from the New Development Bank (NDB).
CIPS was launched by China and managed by its central bank as “a real alternative for global trade settlements.”
At the Shanghai Oil and Gas Exchange, liquefied natural gas contracts are now priced for and paid in yuan. Same thing with soybeans from the Shenzhen Qianhai Joint Trading Center.

Kevin Spacey Reveals He Is Homeless After Losing $5.6 Million Baltimore Home to Foreclosure Amid Costly Legal Battles
Hollywood legend Kevin Spacey has revealed that he is homeless, having lost his lavish Baltimore property to foreclosure while dealing with the soaring cost of the legal fees involved in defending himself against a spate of sexual assault allegations.
Spacey, 66, was once one of the most sought-after actors in the industry, enjoying a series of major blockbuster roles, including appearances in “Se7en” alongside Brad Pitt and Morgan Freeman, and the sensationally popular political series “House of Cards.”
But after several claims of sexual assault and misconduct began being levied against him in 2017, the actor became a persona non grata in Hollywood—a stigma that has remained even after he was acquitted of all charges of sexual assault by a London court in 2023.
