It is a nice idea because the country's currency is already DEAD. China will help to resurrect the economy of Zimbabwe if Mugabe will be able to drop aside PRIDE.

TheGreenDay:
Zimbabwe has announced that it will make the Chinese yuan legal tender after Beijing confirmed it would cancel $40m in debts.

“They (China) said they are cancelling our debts that are maturing this year and we are in the process of finalising the debt instruments and calculating the debts,” minister Patrick Chinamasa said in a statement.

Chinamasa also announced that Zimbabwe will officially make the Chinese yuan legal tender as it seeks to increase trade with Beijing.

Zimbabwe abandoned its own dollar in 2009 after hyperinflation, which had peaked at around 500bn%, rendered it unusable.

It then started using a slew of foreign currencies, including the US dollar and the South African rand.

The yuan was later added to the basket of the foreign currencies, but its use had not been approved yet for public transactions in the market dominated by the greenback.

Nice! I love this! The US petrol dollars is a scam! Iraq plans to sell her oil in Euro currency only and in a swift moment the country was invaded by the US on pretense of Weapons of mass destruction. Soon they will find a stvpid reason to go to war with China once the world start adopting their currency as the official legal tender. All the US have is their dollar, Take it out and watch the country collapse like T.B Joshua building. The US and Saudi Arabia should just keep joking with oil price per barrel, E go do una like film trick when oil producing country drop that useless dollar for another currency.

The Dollar would forever be the dominant official tender and not one yen from one communist country who's second name is to churn out fake products

Chinese currency(Yuan) adopted in Zimbabwe. This I'm sure will go with though conditions.
Zimbabwes economy regarding fiscal and monetary policy will now be determined by China.
i wonder if it wont get to adopting Chinese language.

just ask yourself, how did they get to this?
