美国的许多友邦都正在行动,试图找到能与美元竞争、并最终取代美元的替代品,这会发生的,这种事情总是会发生的,美国的时代即将结束,美元的时代即将结束。

曾与「金融巨鳄」索罗斯(George Soros)共同创立量子基金、有「商品大王」之称的美国传奇投资人罗杰斯(Jim Rogers)在17 日接受俄罗斯卫星通讯社(Sputnik) 专访时,分享了他认为美元将丧失世界储备货币地位的原因:

美国的许多友邦都正在行动,试图找到能与美元竞争、并最终取代美元的替代品,这会发生的,这种事情总是会发生的,美国的时代即将结束,美元的时代即将结束。

美元丧失地位两大原因

罗杰斯解释,美元的主导地位将不可避免地下降,原因是「没有货币能在顶峰待超过150年」,他接着详细说明了各国逐渐远离美元的原因,第一个原因是,美国已成为世界史上最大的债务国:

许多人开始说:等一下,我不知道我们是否想用美元,因为总有一天,美元会出问题。

在罗杰斯发表此言论之际,美国两党针对举债上限的谈判陷入僵局,联邦政府最快可能在6 月1 日出现债务违约,美国财政部长叶伦(Janet Yellen)本周稍早警告,根据白宫研究,美国若陷入债务违约,股市恐暴跌约45%。

美元地位将遭取代的第二个原因,则是与制裁有关,在俄罗斯挥军入侵乌克兰后,美国及其盟国对俄罗斯实施一系列严厉制裁,在罗杰斯看来,美国对俄罗斯的制裁,加速了去美元化的进程:

世界的国际货币应是完全中立的,任何人都可以用它来做任何事,但现在华府正在改变规则,如果美国生你的气,就会把获取美元的渠道切断…就连美国的友邦也担心他们会出事,因此,世界正以更快的速度去美元化。

尚未有美元替代品出现

不过罗杰斯也坦言,迄今为止,世界尚未找到美元替代品,甚至还没有找到能够与美元竞争的货币,而当被问及是否看好人民币能成为世界主导货币时,他则回应:

有人当然会这么想,但中国人不让你买卖人民币,人民币还没有完全开放兑换。

罗杰斯也不看好比特币,他早在2021 年就表示,比特币和黄金不能直接类比,虽然两者都能作为货币以外的交易媒介,但贵金属并没有取代货币的意图,政府为了维持法币的权威性,很有可能将会对比特币祭出管制。

Fei-Fei Li's Team Clarifies the Concept of 'World Models', Sora Merely a Renderer

"World Models" has become a widely used yet confusing term in AI. To address this, a team led by Fei-Fei Li and World Labs proposed a functional taxonomy based on the Partially Observable Markov Decision Process framework. This taxonomy categorizes systems called "world models" into three distinct projections: Renderers, Simulators, and Planners. Renderers, like OpenAI's Sora and other video generation models, focus on producing photorealistic visual outputs for human perception. They prioritize visual fidelity over physical accuracy. Simulators, such as NVIDIA Omniverse, aim to compute precise future environmental states for computational tasks like engineering analysis or digital twins. Planners, like Vision-Language-Action models, take in observations and goals to output executable actions for robots or agents. The article clarifies that most current "world models," including Sora, are primarily Renderers. They generate convincing visuals but lack the core ability to simulate state transitions based on actions, a key requirement for a true world model in classic reinforcement learning definitions. This conceptual confusion has practical implications, leading to potential misalignment in technology selection, investment, and public understanding of AI capabilities. Clear categorization is crucial. It helps enterprises avoid costly mistakes (e.g., using a renderer for robot training), allows investors to accurately assess markets, and enables researchers to build comparable benchmarks. While future systems may integrate these functions, recognizing current boundaries is essential for honest assessment and progress.

Bloomberg Uncovered: How Do China's Wealthy Circumvent the Annual $50,000 Limit to Transfer Assets?

**Summary: How Wealthy Chinese Circumvent $50,000 Annual Foreign Exchange Limits** Despite China's strict capital controls, including an annual $50,000 per person foreign exchange quota, an estimated $150 billion in funds still leaves the country annually via various gray and underground channels. This report outlines the evolution of China's "capital wall" and the methods used to bypass it. **The Evolving Capital Controls:** * **Foundation (1994):** The system of "current account convertibility with strict capital account controls" was established. * **Quota Set (2007):** The $50,000 individual annual forex purchase limit was formalized. * **Crackdown Begins (2015-2017):** Following market volatility, enforcement tightened. Banks were required to scrutinize transactions, and channels like using UnionPay cards for Hong Kong insurance premiums or buying overseas property were blocked. * **Digital & Legal Upgrades (2024-2026):** Enhanced algorithms now flag suspicious patterns (e.g., "smurfing"). The Common Reporting Standard (CRS) provides Chinese tax authorities with data on citizens' offshore accounts. Unlicensed cross-border brokers have been targeted. **Five Primary Methods for Moving Capital:** 1. **Underground Banking / "Hawala" (Duiqiao):** The largest-scale method. No money crosses borders. Clients pay RMB to a domestic account; an overseas associate deposits equivalent foreign currency into the client's offshore account. Risks include high fees, account freezes, and legal penalties. 2. **"Smurfing" or "Ant Moving":** Using multiple individuals' $50,000 quotas to pool funds for one offshore recipient. Increasingly detected by anti-money laundering algorithms. 3. **Trade Invoice Manipulation:** Businesses over-invoice imports or under-invoice exports via offshore shell companies, creating a pretext to transfer excess funds abroad under the guise of trade. 4. **Channel Migration:** After a crackdown on internet brokers, funds flow toward more compliant but costly channels like major banks' cross-border wealth management services or Qualified Domestic Institutional Investor (QDII) quotas. 5. **Structural Arrangements:** High-net-worth individuals use complex, high-cost legal structures involving offshore trusts, insurance, and investment migration programs to transfer asset ownership. **Regulatory Response: Focusing on People, Not Just Money** The current strategy extends oversight from enterprises to **individual residents**. Tools like CRS allow retroactive visibility into offshore assets. Cryptocurrencies, once seen as a potential loophole, are now actively monitored and prosecuted as an illegal channel. The underlying driver remains: with significant wealth concentrated among millions of affluent households seeking diversification amid domestic economic shifts, the incentive to move assets offshore persists despite regulatory barriers.
