_Xi Jinping has an ambition to make the yuan a currency that is in widespread use
internationally. Russia now accepts Chinese yuan in exchange for oil and gas and
Brazil is also considering using yuan, rather than dollars, when trading with China.
In this podcast, experts consider the role of the yuan in international finance 
and the risks involved. Zuri Linetsky, research fellow at the_ _Institute for Global
Affairs in Washington, DC discusses the topic with Daniel McDowell, Associate Professor
of Political Science at the Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs at 
Syracuse University in the United States._
