There's a world wide revolution going on. It goes beyond Mississippi, it goes beyond Alabama, it goes beyond Harlem. What is it revolting against? The power structure. The American power structure? No. The French power structure? No. The English power structure? No. Then what power structure? An international, Western power structure.

Koos Jansen is the best analyst for Chinese gold imports and they show the Chinese people importing over two thousand tonnes for the past couple of years with 2015 figures already looking to increase this. The above figures look like they come from the World Gold Council who seriously underestimate them.
Currently it is almost certain that the "chinese" - people and government hold in excess of 16,000 tons. Some analysts, e.g. Alisdair Macleod suspect the real figure could be higher than that.

They could back the yuan with gold but that is unlikely as they want to keep the yuan low to help exports and holding their empire together. They might use the gold to lever the yuan down in support of this objective. They might independently of the WB/IMF start a new global reserve currency with Russia and the rest of the BRICS backed by gold, silver and those dollars outside of the USA (so dollar holders outside the US are not disadvantaged by the dollar collapse).
