Why are folks smuggling silver into china? - i do not know - while silver, gold and hallucinagenic drugs are controlled substances in china, one can legally import gold and silver, but must pay tax, which cannot be that high - i only know about the smuggling because the hk media are reporting large amounts of bars captured by marine police - the obvious and simple would be truth that there are buyers for the silver - given time lag involved in smuggling, and costs implicated, the buyers and sellers do not care about spot price volatility - either chinese have discovered new uses of silver, or - chinese rediscovered old utilities of silver - the chinese do claim to have invented paper, ink, printing press, and paper money - let us watch and brief, maybe they will smuggle usd as well i am on road in jiangsu province; just arrived fm hk, will deal with solar issues.
