- mattnumbe 10y agoIf you look at the links to the other "top articles" on this site, none of them are really news either. Example:"How America Created ‘HIV/AIDS’ to kill Black People"
- abc_lisper 10y agoAnd a Chinese era begins! Can't think of a more effective way to extend one's colonial reach.
- robert_foss 10y agoMaybe this indeed is the beginning of the end of the current US based hegemony.
- thaumasiotes 10y agoForget about what's more or less effective. How does this extend one's colonial reach at all?
- placeybordeaux 10y agoThe guardian reported this in December of 2015. WHy does this say BREAKING? https://www.theguardian.com/world/2015/dec/22/zimbabwe-to-make-chinese-yuan-legal-currency-after-beijing-cancels-debts https://www.theguardian.com/world/2015/dec/22/zimbabwe-to-ma...

- xbmcuser 10y agoReading the whole article I am not sure if it has been written by a human. Maybe an algorithm or a translation from some other language.
- fallinghawks 10y agoIt's a decidedly odd website. There's an article at the top titled "Meet Esther Rolle" -- an actress who died almost 20 years ago.
- egwynn 10y agoNot news. But while we’re on the subject, can someone explain why Zimbabwe’s Wikipedia page doesn’t list the Yuan as its currency? United States dollar (official for government), South African rand, and many other currenciesa, e.g. Botswana pula. Zimbabwe bond coins are used as a proxy for US dollar coins. Zimbabwe bond notes are set to be introduced in 2016.
