China Completes SWIFT Alternative, May Launch "De-Dollarization Axis" As Soon As September

Tyler Durden's picture




 

One of the recurring threats used by the western nations in their cold (and increasingly more hot) war with Russia, is that Putin's regime may be locked out of all international monetary transactions when Moscow is disconnected from the EU-based global currency messaging and interchange service known as SWIFT (a move, incidentally, which SWIFT lamented as was revealed in October when we reported that it announces it "regrets the pressure" to disconnect Russia).

Of course, in the aftermath of revelations that back in 2013, none other than the NSA was exposed for secretly 'monitoring' the SWIFT payments flows, one could wonder if being kicked out of SWIFT is a curse or a blessing, however Russia did not need any further warnings and as we reported less than a month ago, Russia launched its own 'SWIFT'-alternative, linking 91 credit institutions initially. This in turn suggested that de-dollarization is considerably further along than many had expected, which coupled with Russia's record dumping of TSYs, demonstrated just how seriously Putin is taking the threat to be isolated from the western payment system. It was only logical that he would come up with his own.

There were two clear implications from this use of money as a means of waging covert war: i) unless someone else followed Russia out of SWIFT, its action, while notable and valiant, would be pointless - after all, if everyone else is still using SWIFT by default, then anything Russia implements for processing foreign payments is irrelevant and ii) if indeed the Russian example of exiting a western-mediated payment system was successful and copied, it would accelerate the demise of the Dollar's status as reserve currency, which is thus by default since there are no alternatives. Provide alternatives, and the entire reserve system begins to crack.

Today, we got proof that it is the second outcome that is about to prevail following a Reuters report that China's international payment system, known simply enough as China International Payment System (CIPS), which serves to process cross-border yuan transactions is ready, and may be launched as early as September or October.

According to Reuters, the launch of the will remove one of the biggest hurdles to internationalizing the yuan and should greatly increase global usage of the Chinese currency by cutting transaction costs and processing times.

It will also put the yuan on a more even footing with other major global currencies like the U.S. dollar, as CIPS is expected to use the same messaging format as other international payment systems, making transactions smoother.

 

CIPS, which would be a worldwide payments superhighway for the yuan, will replace a patchwork of existing networks that make processing renminbi payments a more cumbersome process.

In other words, while the west was using every provocation involving the Ukraine civil war as an opportunity to pressure Russia into developing its own cross-border payment system, it achieved not only just that but it also pushed China to accelerate the roll out of its own international payment system, in the process telegraphing to the world that the USD is replacable as a reserve currency and giving any other nations (such as the BRICs) the green light to think of SWIFT as an alternative to either the Russian or Chinese payment system (which with enough political and financial stimulus, they would be delighted to do).

But what is most disturbing is just how quickly the Chinese regime change is coming:

"If it's all smooth, (the launch) will be in September or October. If there is a need for a bit more time, we are still confident about (rolling it out) before the year-end," said the source, who declined to be named because he is not authorized to speak to the media.

 

The system was expected to be launched in 2014 but was delayed by technical problems, with most market participants anticipating it would not come on stream before 2016.

Needless to say, China will be delighted to have its own unified payment system, one that will further internationalize the Renminbi which at least check had become one of the top five payment currencies in November 2014, overtaking both the Canadian and the Australian dollar based on SWIFT data.

Until now, cross-border yuan clearing has to be done either through one of the offshore yuan clearing banks in the likes of Hong Kong, Singapore and London, or else with the help of a correspondent bank in mainland China.

"Misunderstandings under the current clearing system happen from time-to-time due to different languages and codings. The CIPS is a breakthrough since it will offer a united platform and enhance efficiency," said Raymond Yeung, an analyst at ANZ in Hong Kong.

 

The launch of CIPS will enable companies outside China to clear yuan transactions with their Chinese counterparts directly, reducing the number of stages a payment has to go through.

It will also make it far more difficult for the NSA to track payments to and from the mainland when such compromised intermediaries as SWIFT are used.

This is how the Mercator Institute for China Studies previewed this major development:

The Chinese government is striving towards a controlled internationalization of China's currency through a step-by-step expansion of the use of the RMB in Chinese foreign trade and investment. Towards this end, a worldwide network of agreements dealing with central bank currency swaps, the direct exchange of the RMB with other currencies, and RMB clearing hubs has been built. The establishment of an independent payment system (CIPS) for RMB transactions and an alternative to the existing SWIFT would further increase China’s autonomy vis-à-vis U.S. centred financial market structures.

 


Finally, as it becomes easier to transact in non-USD terms, it will merely accelerate the adoption of the Chinese Yuan as the primary currency of global trade, or what little is left of it, as opposed to the currency of financial engineering.

Global yuan payments increased by 20.3 percent in value in December compared to a year earlier, while the growth for payments across all currencies was 14.9 percent for the same period, SWIFT said.

 

China has accelerated the pace of yuan internationalization in recent years. The central bank assigned 10 official yuan clearing banks last year, bringing the total number to 14 globally that can clear yuan transactions with China.

The final observation to make here is that if indeed it was the Obama administration's brilliant ploy to kick out Russia - and by geopolitical affiliation, China - out of a monetary transaction mechanism that is controlled and supervised by the US and force the two biggest challengers to US global dominance into their own (or joint) payment system, then well, congratulations: it succeeded.

One of the issues not addressed by this article is how easily, securely etc financial institutions can connect to the new networks.

Imagine you are a bank and already have all your banking systems linked up to interface with the Swift gateway as they do.

If you want to use another network then you have to split off some messages from your normal traffic and direct them to other gateway(s).

This is not too difficult as most banks are using IBM's MQ as the connection layer but it is one more consideration.

Also the actual gateway itself, this needs very secure connections into the new network otherwise can easily be hacked and messages changed.

So, an additional non-trivial cost.

Swift's agenda for the last 20 years has been to push itself as the "single window" for Financial Institutions and as a cooperative they have done fairly well at this.

Conclusion - domestic Russian & Chinese institutions will move across to the new network to prevent themselves from being unable to transact at all if the USA is able to pressure enough other members to kick Russia out. Foreign institutions will likely continue to use Swift and lobby against Russia and especially China being excluded.

The game changer would be that Russia and China make the use of a single network free of charge including supplying the software for the gateways free unlike the Swift offering together with cast-iron guarantees no country would be kicked out.

Think this one through. No, the Zionist bankers have no where else to run too. Where would they be welcome? Their assets would immediately be seized any where else on earth on account of "crimes" of one sort of another. No, New York, London and Israel are their home bases, the only places where they are truly safe. They are not even safe in many parts of Europe anymore, look at the increasing attacks on Synagogs and Jew owned businesses in France, Belgium and the UK. From here they will make their last stand. I wouldn't count them out just yet. Crafty and cunning SOBs they are. Always seem to have a rabbit up their sleeve.

Winston, The US Navy, working with the CIA has made an art form of tapping undersea cables of all kinds. I expect a rapid attempt to hack these cables using specially fitted Submarines and small robot submersibles. It sounds difficult, by in the 1960-70's the USN made it a routine operation on all sorts of undersea data cables. By 2015, I imagine programs exist to do the job, I expect several billions of dollars of investment in submarine and optic fiber technology has been up and running, waiting for this.

The Chinese navy now operates a greater number of attack submarines than the U.S. Navy and is rapidly expanding the scope of their undersea missions and patrols, U.S. Navy leaders told Congress Wednesday.

“Their submarine force has grown over a tremendous rate. They now have more diesel and nuclear attack submarines than we have so they’ve passed us in total quantity — but in quality they are still not there,” said Vice Adm. Joseph Mulloy, deputy chief of Naval operations, integration of capabilities and resources.

WC, are you  saying they can't find the cables? They'llknow where the cables were laid down. Plus, ultrasound should find the long, metal object pretty easily. I suspect other countries will know when they're being tapped though. Pretty hard to erase that acoustic/electronic signature. Interesting spy vs spy game here but would suspect they achieve some privacy from the cables otherwise, not as much reason to place them.

Jack, I just can't see how it's done.  The sheath carries the power for the regenerators, so this can't be cut, without causing an outage, and is at a high voltage wrt to ground (except around the halfway point) and seawater conducts .  The cable needs to be pulled up on a ship and spliced in a specially prepared room for a normal repair.  Tapping into a fibre means bending it to release power and this would affect the power budget for that section and would be detected at the next regenerator, and cause reflections and standing waves, also detectible.  Once you have tapped into it you need a fibre of the same capacity to take the data back to shore to be de-multiplexed to get at the data streams.  The only real point for interception is surely at the landing point.  Even billions couldn't solve it I reckon.  I'm sure older cables could be tapped and maybe single hop fibres but anything with regenerators or repeaters no.

Is there a passive way to tap, i.e. noninvasively? This is how the US did it on telephone lines in the Berent Sea during the Cold War (see USS Halibut). I guess if the line is heavily shielded this would make this difficult. The US, howver, excels at passive detection technologies.

You can tap a copper cable inductively, an optic cable you either have to physically tap the fiber or bend it to an extreme angle.  Both very detectable at signal input and output.  You  can even detect the length at which the intervention took place.

FWIW. AT&T Government Services was asked by White House SS if FO cable could pick up audio freqs, the short answer is yes. I assume this is using a really sensitive OTDR.

Another guy told of how he ran FO under his carpet for intrusion detection, he gave up on it as he couldn't detune his OTDR to the point where his cat wouldn't set it off.

These stories are from 15 years ago. My bet is that given enough time ad money the gvnt's have developed ways to hack plenum protected undersea FOC.

Pretty funny to read all of the nutjob posts exclaiming joy about using CNY as a substitute for USD.

It is really going to bolster the case when the CNY is depegged and declines about 10%.

First the nutters were proposing that Puutie's Ruble would be the standard.  Good luck with that.

Now, just before a big cheapening of CNY the same clueless idiots are proposing that.

I wonder how they have enough cash left to pay the charge for the internet connection.  Maybe they post from a free library account.

There's still the issue of RCB ownership - it was set up durin the Yeltsyn years by the tribe. It's gonna take some more time to fix but apparently the Duma has some legislation pending. As it is te RCB really has Russian development by the balls, just like te Fed, they're clones.

You think China and Russia will not demand their own FATCA?  The only reason the global FATCA directive endorsed by the OECD went through is because of Russian and Chinese pressure against Switzerland.  Look let me put it this way, the US, China and Russia are united in one thing and one thing only: At a very fundamental level, they don't give two fucks about your rights.

That $100 billion is less than 2 months of fed printing money out of thin air.  Other than China the BRICS are economically fragil.  If India could get on a firm foundation it would help.  Brazil - going the wrong way.

From the article - "Russia into developing its own cross-border payment system".  Ok, when did Russia develop a cross border payment system?  Even the latest article here on ZH indicated the Russian system was just an internal system so than Russian banks could talk to each other without having to pass internal transactions through SWIFT.  If anything a sign of who backwards things are in this regards.   I believe the Tylers are misrepresenting the facts about the Russian system.

Also, is this new system from China just for China?  That is my understanding.  It is a good start, but China needs to build in the ability to handle transactions from the BRICS and others.  It seems China is leading in this regards, not Russia.

Not sure about the CIPS being used by Russia for international anything.  I have not read anything about that occuring.

The Unionpay is just a credit card company.  Unless there is more to them that has not been written about they are like VISA but not nearly as widely used or accepted.  The reason for some Russians, in particular those on the sanctions lists, are using Unionpay appears to be to keep their account from being seized or to replace an account already seized.

[1] On December 17, 1862, General Ulysses Grant wrote to the Assistant Adjutant General of the US Army:

"I have long since believed that in spite of all the vigilance that can be infused into post commanders, the specie regulations of the Treasury Department have been violated, and that mostly by the Jews and other unprincipled traders. So well satisfied have I been of this that I instructed the commanding officer at Columbus to refuse all permits to Jews to come South, and I have frequently had them expelled from the department. But they come in with their carpet-sacks in spite of all that can be done to prevent it. The Jews seem to be a privileged class that can travel anywhere. They will land at any woodyard on the river and make their way through the country. If not permitted to buy cotton themselves, they will act as agents for someone else, who will be at a military post with a Treasury permit to receive cotton and pay for it in Treasury notes which the Jew will buy at an agreed rate, paying gold."

The following day after Russia’s “SWIFT” alternative was announced as operational, Chinese Vice Foreign Minister Cheng Guoping said China will build up its strategic partnership with Russia in finance, space and aircraft building and “raise trade cooperation to a new level.” He added that China plans to cooperate more with Russia in the financial area and in January Russia’s First Deputy Prime Minister Igor Shuvalov said that payments in national currencies, de-dollarization, were being negotiated with China. China realizes that if Russia collapses, China is next. Failing empires try desperate measures to survive.

The BRICS aren't pusing to abandon the dollar, just to compel it to find its' true value as determined as a consequence of the Fed's actions. I figure Zimbabwe or Ukraine are good indicators of where it's going.

Does the globe need a 'reserve' currency? Dont know. 

How about gold backed currency? The Rothchilds and other are sitting on untild thousands of tons of gold just waiting for such an event.

My solution? I dont really have one, just an observation. The US was an experement in creating a 'fair' sysem. Like any sytem, law, peice of code it can be hacked. That which is lacking is political leadership to take actions to benefit to polulace it represents.

This is a game that has been in  play actively since the French Revolution. When Cho En Lai (IIRC) was asked what he thought of the French Revolution his responce was 'Too early to tell.'
