The gold being traded Al is just a paper instrument or even an electronic instrument.
The real question is what do you have to pay to buy the real metal? Can you get enough?
Germany couldn’t even get the gold they owned back from the FRB except for 5 to 7 tons.

Your comment is awaiting moderation.

First I admit that I am pro-democracy and anti-Chinese government. I participated in 1989 movement. I support the reasonable level of unrest to deter government from doing whatever it wants.

I also support Hong Kong students’ request for democracy, which they never got even under British rule. Elections only happened on Mainland’s watch, kind of weird. However, the timing and trace of evidences does suggest the CIA involvement.

This is not an isolated incident and it is not even the most effective way to create trouble for China but it is the only way left.

US strategy to deter China is many-folds. Nobody believes that US is not trying to undermine its enemy, right?

First, US has been systematically incubate pro-American force inside the communist party and infiltrate into the intellectual inner-circle of policy makers by bribery and funding for research and other projects. A lot of social science professionals in China are on the side of US due to this long term strategy. A lot these people are even off-springs of high rank leaders. My ex GF, who is the think tank for the government, proved it to me it is true.

US has been attempting regime changes for China’s close allies like North Korea, Pakistan and Burma and they have limited success since these countries face threats from the West and regime changes do not impact their pro-China stands.
US also back SE Asian countries to challenge China for South China Sea territorial dispute and promise that US will back them with 7th fleet.

Japan and China conflict started with Japanese desire to weaken China but it dares not to do it without US support. The trigger event was the announcement of nationalization of Senkaku islands by Japan, which is a disputed territory. This conflict is fading away due to the restraints from both sides.

US support the Tibet independence which has no chance of success since except a few extremists, almost all Tibetans recognize their Chinese identity and very happy to see the rapid improvement of Tibetan economy by influx of goods, industry, railroads and mass transportation from inland.

US also supports XinJiang Independence movement. Due to the racial composition of this western province, fair amount of people do not recognize their belongs to China and tried to break away from China for the last few hundred years. This is a Muslim region and tied closely to the terrorist organizations to the Middle East. A lot of people there joined Afghanistan troops and organizations like ISIS to fight against US invasion. US have released a lot of these POWs as long as they promise to go back to China to carry out anti-China activities. There have been many terrorist incidents in China during the last few years and people are very tired of it, but government has been exercising restraints from launching major military actions like what happened in 1880s and the early 1950s.

There are also comments from Overseas Chinese investment forum (which is blocked in China since its anti-government bias), where almost everyone assumes that the demonstration is supported by CIA.

Off message – every move we make………..

Jerry, there are no real jobs anymore because there isn’t an economy, we are in a depression. All that is happening is money printing without which the collapse would have been more apparent to all instead the public must wait to see what they can’t figure out.
