It won’t be the Yuan, for a number of reasons. More like a commodity based currency used in currency swaps trading with other nations industrial production. Russia’s oil & gas for Chinese manufactured goods. But the fiat dollar is now on its last legs. Other coountries are sick of having to suffer inflation because of the West’s financial irresponsibility, and are looking for an off ramp.
Or we simply won't have a reserve currency. Every nation will traffic between themselves in their local currencies / barter-style trades. No one trusts China enough to actually place their State-manipulated currency as a major backer of anything.

Whichever way it’s resolved, the big issue is the dollar losing it’s reserve currency status. Economists say that would immediately result in a 1/3 drop in our standard of living. And that estimate was prior to covid and they printed all that money, so I shudder to think how much lower it would be today, probably more like a 50% loss. Now picture the US today and their money’s value immediately cut in half, but the price of everything else remains the same. Not a pretty picture.
