I mean, the China Central Bank has been buying so much gold bullion for its reserves.

Lots of Chinese private investors have been doing the same.

And it's important to keep it in perspective.

An ounce of gold today is still worth more than double what it was two years ago, this time two years ago.

So in the main, gold has really increased a huge amount.

It's just now we are seeing a

a pretty sharp drop, but nowhere near enough to wipe the gains that it's made over the last two years.

And in the face of all of that, Chinese exports still continued to explode. matched

They announced a matched

trade surplus of $1.2 trillion last week, $1.2 trillion more goods and services sold than were imported in China. matched

So yes, trade with the United States was down, but China found customers in places like Southeast Asia, Latin America, and Africa to sell to. matched
