>>"Comments welcomed, as I am working diligently to try to understand the evolving global scene just like everybody else." China will always be an enigma, as indeed is your great country. And, come to think of it, I haven't even been able to figure out Canada either. As an investor, should I try ? I don't see the point.... it is beyond my intellect. As an investor what I am interested in is "rising prices". And I feel encouraged in my belief that market prices do, in fact, trend. Even following the current trend is difficult enough ! But it's simpler and more realistic for me than trying to fathom China, and simpler and more reliable than prognosticating on the future. So from your "just like everyone else", please excuse my absence ! LOL.

Suffice to say that I don't see China as a great place to invest over the near term, even though the Chinese people are well educated, industrious, etc. To me, serious problems are being swept under the rug over there Some don't fit under the rug!

Is the Chinese government using its huge store of $ to buy gold?

"How do you dump the huge accumulation of treasuries without furthering the accumulating losses and/or further depressing the economy of your largest customer?" Is there a compelling reason to believe the Chinese are still holding all the US treasuries they bought? Could they have been posted as collateral for purchases of commodities world wide? Why would the Chinese be so vocal about the US$ and the need to replace it if they were totally at risk ? Are they really just like deer staring into the oncoming headlights?
