“extends it’s influence”
No one understands what’s going on, do they ?
I mean I’m no Chinese political analyst, but when the Chinese buy things it’s pretty elementary knowledge that they dont’ have to buy EVERYTHING. They just buy enough to control markets.
This was the HUGE deal with Chinese holdings in rare earth. It wasn’t about the fact that the US was sitting on a rare earth. It was the fact that the Chinese weren’t afraid to control the market with just _enough_ rare earth.
But the COMMUNIST Chinese sure do know what's going on!
They know that the price of gold will rise -to back above $1,860 per ounce- in the near short term. And proceed higher monthy.
