Interesting news to me. Can you point to a news article or source for more detail?
This info is about 2 months old give or take. I took a look at Gold-Eagle where I know I saw several articles about it when it was announced but could not find anything today. I'll look further.

It is older than that. It has been talked about for over a year. They recently opened the Shanghai gold exchange. So far, gold sales brisk.
Another thing we have in common with the Commies: the Chinese government allows or disallows its citizens from owning gold----The US government allows(nixon)/disallows(FDR) its citizens from owning gold.
Personally, I think there is an equivalency between owning gold and keeping and bearing arms. I don't see how the government can legitimately infringe any free person's right to own either. But for part of my life, Americans could not own gold bullion. I was too young to care when that changed. But I would certainly care now if it changed back. And I would hope that if ever the US government for any reason tried to curtail the right of the American citizen to own gold, there would be a reaction not unlike that which would result if the US government suddenly decided to totally ban guns.
