The King scared away its biggest buyers with the sanctions on Russia. China is dumping its dollars. Other non-western countries like India have been slow to add to their reserves after the Russia sanctions as well.



Far from being an expert but from my understanding China’s economy is in a fairly difficult situation at the moment. They are selling because they urgently need lot of cash, not because they are afraid of USD value.


Any country that’s not completely within USA sphere of influence would rationally not want to hold dollars after what they did to Russia’s reserves.
