Trump's trade war with China might be doomed from the start. Why? The shocking 25,000 ton secret China has been hiding from the world. In this explosive interview with Craig Hempy from TF Metals Report, we uncover what mainstream media isn't telling you about the real economic battle between superpowers. Gold deliveries delayed, markets in chaos, and hedge funds dumping assets - all while China quietly positions itself against the dollar.
Trump needs to audit and verify our 8,100 tons of Gold, and ramp up gold mining in the US,……those with the Gold make the rules.
its not just China, if you google the lilst of top gold holding nations.. its nuts and false. Russia, China and many other countries have been quietly storing gold. Certainly not illegal, but who knows what has happened to Americas gold.. as we see with Doge, money can easily disappear. There are quite a few things info drops that have been disappointing, but yes... audit Fort Knox and NY
I believe productivity (as reflected in stock values), not stuff (gold, etc.) is the primary reserve of value.
What is the total of all public companies’ stock values in the U.S. versus China?
ChatGPT said:
As of early 2025, the total market capitalization of publicly traded companies in the United States and China is as follows:
🇺🇸 United States
Market Capitalization: Approximately $60.1 trillion, accounting for 48.6% of the global stock market.
Number of Firms: About 6,062 companies.
Largest Companies: The “Magnificent Seven”—Apple, Microsoft, Alphabet, Nvidia, Amazon, and Meta Platforms—represent nearly 30% of the U.S. market capitalization.
🇨🇳 China
Market Capitalization: Approximately $15.6 trillion, making it the second-largest stock market globally.
Number of Firms: Around 7,061 companies.
Largest Companies: Major firms include Tencent, Alibaba, and various financial institutions.
📊 Comparative Overview
The U.S. stock market is nearly four times larger than China’s in terms of total market capitalization.
Despite having more listed companies, China’s market capitalization is significantly lower than that of the U.S.
The U.S. market’s dominance is partly due to the substantial valuations of its largest tech companies.
These figures underscore the U.S.’s leading position in the global financial landscape, with its stock market representing nearly half of the world’s total market capitalization.
Today, war among great powers is fought in the economic arena. Military action is for beating up on small players (think Russia on Ukraine, US on any Middle Eastern country) or in proxy wars (Ukraine again, Viet Nam), or as a final act of desperation when economic measures fail, or after economic measures succeed for final subjugation of the vanquished.
Beware of anyone claiming to tell you the REAL story.
The Dollar is not based on gold. As a holder of gold, I found out that if you have it, then what are you going to do with it if you need something else? The problem with gold is that you have to find someone who wants it. Gold is insurance.
Preppers understand this well. A Prepper would rather have a warehouse full of food and a reliable water supply than gold.

Lots of used car salesmen pinky rings.
They don’t have 25,000 tons
It is not 2000 pounds per ton
It is not 16 ounces per pound
wasn’t a significant amount of China’s gold shown to be fake bars?

You left out Denver, the US Mint, and the Federal Reserve holdings. I posted a few days ago all the locations that .gov claims ( down to the Troy ounce) the people’s Gold is held….quite impressive, but upon reading the report you will notice “ seals not tampered with”, examining seals is not an “inventory”, and most definitely not a full assay audit.
With the Brics and China mentioning a “40 percent backing in Gold”, the world’s Central Banks buying historic tons of Gold, it is apparent something big is occurring in the financial world….as we are witnessing, Gold currently is at 3,239 USD’s, and rising….in every single currency in the world.
You’ll be alright... a bowel movement will have you up and running in no time.
Troy ounces, not standard ounces. 12 to the pound not 16.
“You’ll be alright... a bowel movement will have you up and running in no time.”
Grow up.
You are the one that used the wrong conversions.
An adult would have done his homework and come back with the right calculations.
Gold is the storage form of money, as a battery is the storage form of electricity. How many dollars is it worth isn’t really an important question, because once you choose that form of storage for some money, you have already accepted that dollars may become irrelevant at some point in the future.
It is unlikely to be useful in a crisis.
It could be quite useful after the crisis has passed.
After May 8, 1945 your reichsmarks were not very useful. After September 2, 1945 your yen weren’t, either.
However, if some of your RM or ¥ were stored as gold, you could turn some of it back into whatever the stores were taking after 1949 or 1952.
Just weight until we repudiate all Federal debt held by Red China.
I’ll believe it when they show it to the public, and then melt it into new ingots. I read a few stories of the scams that Chinese gold brokers use to sell gold they don’t really have.
