Would it be too far-fetched to consider the possibility that say, China bowing to the demands of its the business sector, claiming that its profit margins are affected by the weak US dollar, would prefer to be paid in euros and other countries would follow suit? I can only imagine such a scenario would further weaken the US economy. Is the US prepared for it?

Rarely does money change hands in large business transactions. They are handled by bank transactions in money value. Therefore it does not matter what the "name" of the money is so long as the value is determined and agreed upon.

As the value of the US money is based on stock market value and goods exchanged (trade debt and income) Changing the China money would only affect the little people till they cashed in on the new unit of money.

Same thing that happen in Europe for the Euro.
