Is China that devious? Would they artificially pump-up the USA stock market, in order to crash gold today? Then they could acquire cheap gold, and crash the world markets, to establish themselves as the world's lone superpower. Everybody would need to trade in yuans. The USA would be finished as a superpower.
Who agrees with me?
Does China Plan To Back The Yuan With Gold And Make It The Primary Global Reserve Currency?
By Michael Snyder, on June 4th, 2013
What in the world is China up to? Why are the Chinese hoarding so much
gold? Does China plan to back the yuan
with gold and turn it into a global reserve currency? Could it be possible that China actually
intends for the yuan to eventually replace the U.S. dollar as the primary
reserve currency of the planet? Most
people in the western world assume that China just wants a "seat at the
table" and is content to let the United States run the show. But that isn't the case at all. The truth is that China doesn't just want to
compete with the United States. Rather,
China actually plans to replace the United States as the dominant economic
power on the planet. In fact, China
already accounts for more global trade than the United States does. So what would happen one day if China
announced that it was backing the yuan with gold and that it would no longer be
using the U.S. dollar in international trade?
It would cause a financial shift so cataclysmic that it is hard to even
imagine. Most of those that write about
the "death of the U.S. dollar" usually fail to point out that China
is holding a lot of the cards as far as the fate of the dollar is
concerned. China owns about a trillion
dollars of our debt, China is the second largest economy on the planet, and
nobody uses the dollar in international trade more than China does except for
the United States. Up until now, China
has had to use the U.S. dollar in international trade because there has not
been an attractive alternative. But a
gold-backed yuan would change all of that very rapidly.
And without a doubt, the Chinese government has
already been very busy promoting the use of the yuan in international
trade. In a recent note, John McCormick
of RBS Group stated the following...
A number of factors suggest that the Chinese
authorities want to make RMB internationalisation happen by 2015.

Remember those assurances that the Iraq War would
pay for itself, once those oil revenues began gushing forth from a liberated
Iraq? Well, a decade later, the Iraq War is paying off after all — for China.
"We lost out," said Michael Makovsky, a
former Defense Department official in the Bush administration. "The
Chinese had nothing to do with the war," he told the New York Times,
"but from an economic standpoint they are benefiting from it, and our
Fifth Fleet and air forces are helping to assure their supply."
China is the biggest customer of Iraq's oil, buying
nearly 1.5 million barrels a day, close to half the oil Iraq produces, the
Times reported. Beijing is looking to increase that share as it bids for a
stake now owned by Exxon Mobil in one of Iraq's largest oil fields.
"The
Chinese are the biggest beneficiary of this post-Saddam oil boom in Iraq,"
said Denise Natali
My opinion: It's like the USA is too naive to understand that we are giving China free oil, purchased with the blood of our soldiers. We are contributing to our own disaster.
