Let's be honest. China owes many things to US investment, US technology transfer etc. And i don't blame you for it, you gotta feed 1.4 bn people. Look at this figure for example

China's top import partners (USA and its allies) account for almost 44% of its total imports.
Or this one (all US allies)

I know that every country puts its national interests and its own rules in the first place. But don't you think that we are bunch of clueless fools here, by pretending that China is some kind of super hero savior of Asians and Latin people. You highly depend on western block and it is understable why you couldn't do jackshit to support Russian operation in Ukraine or in the Taiwanese case.
BRICS won't accept Chinese monopoly, esp, considering the fact that this country highly depends on west for its trade. This dependence is so high that you didn't dare to formally import Iranian oil despite all the overhyped Chinese words and claims about Asian alliance. Let me call it bunch of bullcrap. And the fact that Chinese ideology can never distinguish between true friendly countries and true enemies, people would prefer to go with the same dollar based system or introduce a new mutual currency accepted by majority without monopoly. You cannot hold these countries as hostages to hide your own weaknesses.
Mark my words, i know countries like Iran and Venezuela are going to have hard hours for a short period of time but a new order is being shaped in which the western aligned China which cannot even take Taiwan back won't be the new dictator. When the membership in Eurasian economic forum is finalized, Iran won't need to sell oil to Chinese companies from unformal channels, and possibly the trade volume between China and Iran reaches the near zero point. Slowly but surely and preferably.
