Of course, Bananas, it will happen. There are only two reasons, why it has not taken place
yet:
- The Chinese are awash in USDs and need time to divest themselves of them.
- They are Asians, who do do nothing hastily, they work for the long term.

They have been busy building schools, infrastructure and such throughout Asia and Africa.
Their policy of non-interference in countries they are dealing with allows them to a) remain
popular and b) to bring such countries like India and Pakistan under the same roof,
and is the reason why even the US's staunchest allies flocked to the AIIB like starlings for
the cherry tree.

Look up: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asian_...nvestment_Bank,
scroll down to the membership list and see how diverse it is.

And as far as China's human rights record is concerned let me just point out, that the US
has the developed world's highest rate of incarcerations, higher than Russia, Iran and
China. That does not appear to indicate superior human rights. You may have more
freedom of speech here, but something is clearly amiss.
