>But enough major players are sick of it that it is falling apart. China, Russia, India, Brazil, most of the Middle East and a good chunk of Africa no longer see this system as providing value for them and they are eagerly looking for ways to settle trade directly in their own currencies and through their own pipelines.
China, Russia, India, Brazil, most of the Middle East and a good chunk of Africa have always been able to accept renminbi, rubles, rupees, reals, etc. They prefer dollars to those other currencies, regardless of cross-border payment methods. This won't change a thing.
