        @calestous why not go one better and let every African decide what currency to use? Currency competition! I proposed a Bill to do that

        @Winslow_R @calestous Kenya, S.Africa have yuan clearing houses but not yet approved for public transactions. Mostly bilateral settlements.

        @calestous in 2013, Kenya proposed hosting Africa's first yuan clearing house to deepen China trade ties but not to replace dollar.

        @calestous inevitable step towards internationalization of #RMB. Problem: #Yuan's soft power too weak to be used widely in #Africa. (1/2)

        @calestous Settling in yuan on the continent would mirror Asia, where there are yuan clearing houses in Singapore, Taiwan and the Hong Kong.

        @calestous (2/2) more clearing houses needed in Africa- currently only in SA & #Kenya. #China working w/France for francophone #Africa.

        @calestous We can't cede control of our Central Banking to foreigners. It's very irresponsible for anyone to even contemplate that idea.
