Key Notes
Jiang says the 2022 sanctions on Russia and the seizure of Russian assets exposed the legal insecurity of storing wealth in the dollar system and pushed states toward gold.
Jiang says U.S. sanctions on Russia, including freezing roughly $300 billion in assets and cutting Russia off from SWIFT, discredited the Western financial system for non-Western investors.
He says Trump's threatened 50-day tariffs will not materially change Russia's behavior because Russia is already deeply sanctioned.
