China Escalates Gold War as U.S. Silent Default Accelerates

Taylor Kenney - ITM Trading Jul 31, 2025

China is leading the monetary shift. While headlines distract the West, Beijing is quietly stockpiling gold, acquiring global mines and building a financial system designed to replace the dollar. The worst part, they’re not alone.

What China Reports vs. What They’re Really Doing

Official gold purchases don’t match import data. Here’s why that matters.

The People’s Bank of China has reported gold buying every month since November—adding over 1 million ounces. But a deeper dive into trade data tells a different story:

  • Gold imports remain strong even when Shanghai gold trades at a discount to London
  • By Chinese law, all gold must flow through the Shanghai Gold Exchange (SGE) before being sold
  • This means imports during discount periods weren’t meant for resale, but for stockpiling

The End of Dollar Dominance

China is building a parallel financial system—and it’s already in motion.

While the U.S. uses sanctions, tariffs, and monetary policy as weapons, China is playing a long game:

  • Launching alternatives to SWIFT, such as Project Enbridge (sabotaged by the BIS)
  • Converting U.S. dollar reserves into gold, avoiding U.S. political risk
  • Locking up global mines for gold, copper, lithium, and rare earth elements

This isn’t about diversification. It’s about de-dollarization.

More Than Just Gold

China is securing physical supply chains before the next crisis hits.

This year alone:

  • $1.2 billion gold mine purchased in Kazakhstan
  • New copper and gold mine acquired in Brazil
  • Continues dominating the rare earth market

China understands that real power lies in tangible assets, not speculative paper.

U.S. Is Reacting, Not Preparing

While China buys gold, the U.S. prints dollars.

In contrast to China’s long-term positioning:

  • The U.S. remains addicted to money printing and borrowing
  • Inflation, once “transitory,” is now structural
  • The dollar’s purchasing power is in freefall

Expect rising costs:

  • Groceries
  • Gas
  • Electricity

And eventually: uncontrolled inflation, possibly hyperinflation.

Why Gold and Silver Are Your Lifeline Now

Gold isn’t just a shiny metal. It’s a defense strategy. China is treating gold as a weapon of wealth preservation. So should you.

  • Gold vs dollar: One loses value, the other preserves it
  • Tangible assets: Immune to central bank manipulation
  • Inflation hedge: Gold has preserved wealth through every currency collapse in history

Prepare Like the Elites Do

The elites aren’t waiting for collapse. They’re preparing with gold, silver, and real assets. They’re doing it quietly. Strategically. Just like China.

You can do the same. Don’t wait until headlines confirm what insiders already know. By then, it’s too late.
