Answer

Currently, the gap between emerging market savings and major global capital markets is bridged by expensive Western intermediaries (and the dollar). Munawar proposes replacing these with **"Direct Access Fintech Kits."**

This strategy involves:

API Infrastructure: Providing partner countries in Africa, Asia, and Latin America with the necessary APIs to plug their local financial rails directly into Chinese blockchain settlement layers.
Local Rails Integration: Enabling local banks and wallets to hold digital yuan without requiring complex offshore accounts.
Unlocking Savings: By removing the "Friction Tax," China can unlock massive, untapped pools of global savings to fuel its domestic high-tech industries.
