The Sino-American trade war has been fought for so long, many people are asking: can we still get back more than 600 tons of gold in the United States, the answer may be regrettable: not at all, the United States holds 69% of the world's gold, and nobody is ready to give it.
This answer is like a joke, hit in the heart of every person who cares about the wealth of the country, 600 tons of gold, according to the current market price, it is 40 billion real gold and silver, so the Americans are dead and dead in the hand, but we can only look.
More frustrating is that this is still our own money, there are people, now want to take it back, but people put out a pair of you can tell me what face.
The official reserve of 8,133 tons, which accounts for 69% of the global gold reserves, is equivalent to moving 70% of the world’s gold into the U.S. underground treasury.
More than half of them are hidden in the military base at Fort Knox, Kentucky, which is so tightly guarded that even flies cannot fly in. The rest are scattered in several vaults such as the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, forming a huge gold empire.
These gold is not a stack, but a real financial weapon in the hands of the United States, look at Russia's encounters, you know, after the outbreak of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict in 2022, the United States, not to mention, froze Russia's foreign exchange reserves.
Even the gold with the presence of Russia in the United States was seized, wanted to pay off foreign debt?Not at all, Venezuela is worse, in 2018, the United States directly locked the gold account of the Maduro government, almost forcing this oil power to the point of cracking.
What happened to Germany is the most telling thing. As a die-hard ally of the United States, Germany proposed to ship back 674 tons of gold stored in the United States in 2013. What was the result?
The Federal Reserve dragged on for seven years, and finally only returned 300 tons. Moreover, the gold bars returned were mixed with a pile of old goods from the 1940s, and the quality was so poor that the Germans frowned.
Not only Germany, but also the Netherlands, Italy and France have encountered similar nails. Even Britain, which has the strongest relationship, was politely declined to take a look at its own gold.
This trick played by Americans, it is clear that gold is in my hands, under the sky I have, nominally, the ownership of these gold belongs to all countries, but the actual control is firmly held in the hands of the United States, want? no door.
All of this dates back to the Bretton Woods system established after the Second World War, when the dollar was directly linked to gold, $35 to an ounce of gold, and the currencies of other countries followed the dollar.
Under this system, new york has naturally become the center of global gold trading. For the convenience of trading, countries have deposited gold in new york one after another, saving the trouble of transporting it back and forth.
my country's 600 tons of gold were deposited in the early 1990s. At that time, my country had just reformed and opened up and was eager to integrate into the world economic system. Its foreign exchange reserves were only a mere US$200 billion.
In order to join the WTO and gain international recognition, depositing gold in the United States has become a certificate of vote that has to be handed over. Who would have thought that what was originally a convenient move has now become a handle.
However, today’s China has long been different from Wu Zhong Amun, whose foreign exchange reserves have grown from $200 billion to more than $3 trillion, and the proportion of 600 tons of gold has been insignificant.
More importantly, China is in the next big game:ining the world's top gold output for 18 years in a row, the central bank continues to increase its gold reserves, the Shanghai Gold Exchange is challenging New York's pricing power, and the promotion of digital yuan is also a direct indicator of the dollar hegemony.
Looking around the world, a restructuring of the financial landscape is quietly underway. In 2022, central banks of various countries frantically hoarded 1,136 tons of gold, setting a record high.
India has returned 100 tons from Britain, Poland has taken back 8,000 gold bars, and the always cautious Switzerland is adjusting its gold custody strategy.
What is even more iconic is that the RMB's share of cross-border settlement exceeded the US dollar for the first time, reaching 45%. What about the United States? Forty-six states have declared gold legal tender, a defensive stance that exposes their inner panic.
After all, the meaning of this 600 tons of gold has long surpassed gold itself, it is like a mirror that reflects the real face of today’s international financial system, the rules on the surface and the credit, behind the naked logic of power.
But the wheel of history is rolling forward, the cracks of the dollar hegemony have emerged, and a multi-polar world pattern is forming.
The United States can hold on to gold, but can not hold on to the footsteps of changing times, when Shanghai, London, and New York form a new pattern.
When the internationalization of the RMB takes solid steps, whether the 600 tons of gold is in the United States is actually less important.
Those 600 tons of gold are not so much seized wealth, but rather a wake-up call that always reminds us that in this world where the weak of the weak are strong, only when we are strong can we truly control our own destiny.
The United States can take possession of gold and not give, but can not take possession of the momentum of China's rise, but can not take possession of the big trend of the world's multipolarization, the bell of the times has been ringing, the old order is collapsing, the new order is being formed.
At this historical crossroads, China chose not to dwell on the 600 tons of gold, but to focus on the broader future.
