“Asia” is Nato/EU???
You are putting Japan, South Korea, Philippines, Indonesia ect., ect. aligned with China??
Not sure if I mistyped or you did.
There would appear to be clear oppositional lines drawn of the significant populations of Asia (India and China) vs the populations of the NATO.
There is no point in thinking about money when all those countries have their own central banks and can create it.
But . . . we are in fact talking about Russian assets, which is money. They have their own central bank, too.
It’s mostly a matter of appearances so NATO oligarchs do not have to risk having their wealth declared absent-meaning by a war between central banks with their infinite money.
