China’s 6-Point Power Play: How Beijing Plans to Dominate Global Finance by 2030
Forget slow-and-steady—China just dropped a blueprint to rewrite the financial rulebook. Here’s what their ’New Era’ playbook reveals:
1. Digital Yuan Arms Race: CBDCs aren’t coming—they’re here, and Beijing’s forcing the first-mover advantage while the West debates regulation.
2. Belt-and-Road 2.0: Infrastructure debts were just phase one. Now they’re locking in payment systems and currency swaps.
3. Tech Control = Market Control: From Ant Group to blockchain patents, they’re building financial tech that answers to Beijing first.
4. The Compliance Trap: New ’standards’ that just happen to favor Chinese firms—with EU and US players facing impossible compliance hurdles.
5. Crisis Capitalism: Watch for strategic liquidity injections during the next global downturn—with strings attached.
6. The End Run Around SWIFT: Cross-border payments that bypass Western systems entirely (because nothing says ’trust’ like cutting out the middlemen).
Wall Street’s still betting on dollar dominance—but China’s playing chess while everyone else checks their Bloomberg terminals.
How China’s Digital Economy Strategy Reshapes Global Finance
National Security Framework Prioritizes Financial Control
People’s security and political stability were identified as Core focuses in China’s six-point plan outlined in the white paper released on Monday. With its roots in national interests, the framework creates both high-quality progress and increased global presence.
The white paper stated:
The document presents China’s global financial power strategy in six sub-heads – covering initiatives like the Global Security Initiative and the “common security” on global scales. Blockchain regulation and digital economy strategy are very important but at present specific cryptocurrency market risks details are still pending.
Balancing Growth With Control
The white paper indicates that China values coordinating development with security, working to achieve positive interaction between development and security.
The document stated:
China’s approach to blockchain regulation is expected to be formalized as these security systems develop, with significant implications for the digital economy strategy nationwide.
Global Implications For Financial Markets
China’s 6-point plan brings what the document calls “a global outlook to the holistic approach to national security.” This suggests China will extend its blockchain regulation beyond its borders and into international markets.
According to the white paper:
This approach could create new cryptocurrency market risks for global investors as China reshapes financial institutions according to its preferences and strategic goals.
Regional Stability As Strategic Focus
The document emphasized China’s pursuit of national rejuvenation amid global changes. Regional cooperation is essential to the 6-point plan, with financial integration across Asia prioritized as part of the broader global financial power strategy.
The white paper noted:
Modernization Of Security Systems
The final sections discuss the reform of the national security system of China, with a special emphasis on the management of the risks of cryptocurrency and the enhancement of the oversight of blockchain.
The 6-point plan goes straight in the vein of the call to maintain “the major responsibilities entrusted by the Party and the people” made in the document. There is intense international interest in how China advances this strategy, with a specific interest on its digital economy venture and international financial interaction in the NEAR future.
