On the otherhand, the Chings & ZANU-PF have been friends since the geurilla/liberation days. To date, the "old buddy" system is there and now the Chinese (and Indians) account for the largest FDI inflows into Zim's economy & bulk importers of Zim's Tobacco & Cotton output. In the event the USD slips off the charts, I am 90% sure Zim will adopt the Yuan! However, the long-term position of Zim is to use the multi-ccy regime now to stabilise and have an impetus to the economy before finally reverting to a local ccy.
