| In 1981, a 10-year-old Vietnamese girl, her parents and nine brothers and sisters began preparing for a perilous journey, a journey they knew they might not survive.
Since the fall of Saigon and the end of the Vietnam War in April 1975, life had been hard for the little girl’s family. The Communist government of North Vietnam inherited a country deeply divided, devastated by war, and on the verge of economic collapse. In an attempt to unify the country, the government instituted a centrally pWednesday, November 25, 2020 |

| Ronan Manly: Skepticism reigns about true state of China's gold reserves |
| Bullion Star gold researcher Ronan Manly today reviews China's practice of acquiring gold reserves surreptitiously and reporting them to the International Monetary Fund only at long intervals.
In July 2015, Manly notes, China pledged to start regular reporting of gold reserve changes, and did make monthly updates for 14 months, but these stopped in October 2016 and no changes have been reported since.

| The Celebration of Chinese New Year |
| Chinese New Year is probably the most important date in the Chinese calendar, with the event being celebrated throughout China and in Chinese communities around the world. Gold plays an essential part of the Chinese New Year celebrations.
Also known as Lunar New Year, the date on which Chinese New Year falls each year is variable since it follows the Lunisolar calendar, hence the New Year festival is a movable event. However, Chinese New Year usually falls somewhere between 21 January and 21 FebSunday, February 11, 2018 |

Russia added a recorded number of tons of gold to her gold holding in 2017 with 223 tons added to the central bank’s gold reserves.

| Russia-China gold reserves could shake U.S. economic dominance, expert tells RT |
| The gold accumulated by China and Russia could be seen as part of a strategy to move away from international trade denominated in U.S. dollars, according to Singapore's Bullion Star precious metals expert Ronan Manly.
Manly exclusively told RT that there is a shift occurring regarding the two countries building up their gold reserves, to perhaps returning to gold-backed currencies in the future and a move away from the global dominance of the U.S. dollar, which is no longer supported by gold.

| Koos Jansen: Who is supplying China's gold Apparently everybody |
| Gold researcher Koos Jansen today reviews gold imports into China and concludes:
"Until new evidence shows up my best guess is that China net imported 777 tonnes in the first nine months of 2017, sourced from all corners of the world: the United Kingdom, South Africa, Australia, Switzerland, the United States, Middle East, and the Philippines. It seems Chinese banks are active all over the world looking to buy gold on the dips, snapping up physical metal when the time is right."
