ZH: Is China Preparing A Gold-Backed Yuan: Beijing Greenlights Purchases Of Billions In Bullion


COGwriter

In 2017, we warned that China was working on a what could be called a gold-petro-yuan (watch US Dollar being challenged by Gold-Petro-Yuan).

Notice the following:

Is China Preparing A Gold-Backed Yuan: Beijing Greenlights Purchases Of Billions In Bullion

April 16, 2021

In 2018, the Chinese launched a gold-backed, yuan-denominated oil futures contract.  These contracts were priced in yuan, but convertible to gold, raising the prospect that “the rise of the petroyuan could be the death blow for the dollar.

Two weeks ago, The IMF reported that the global share of US-dollar-denominated exchange reserves dropped to 59.0% in the fourth quarter, according to the IMF’s COFER data released today. This matched the 25-year low of 1995.

And just last week, China became the first major economy to unleash a Central Bank Digital Currency, “cementing its trailblazer status in virtual currencies far ahead of other countries, after already recently experimenting with large-scale trials of actual payments by consumers, which was met with mixed results.”

Also last week, Peter Thiel warned “Bitcoin should also be thought [of] in part as a Chinese financial weapon against the US… It threatens fiat money, but it especially threatens the U.S. dollar.” https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/china-readying-gold-backed-yuan

So, the ‘petro-yuan’ has been introduced, the introduction looks like a financial success, it is intended to increase the acceptance of the Chinese yuan, and thus also decrease the need to use US dollars in international trade.

April 16, 2021

(Reuters) – China has given domestic and international banks permission to import large amounts of gold into the country, five sources familiar with the matter said, potentially helping to support global gold prices after months of declines. …

The People’s Bank of China (PBOC), the country’s central bank, controls how much gold enters China through a system of quotas given to commercial banks. It usually allows metal in but sometimes restricts flows.

“We had no quotas for a while. Now we are getting them … the most since 2019,” said a source at one of the banks moving gold into China.

The PBOC did not respond to a request for comment.

The size of the shipments signals China’s dramatic return to the global bullion market. https://uk.sports.yahoo.com/news/exclusive-china-opens-borders-multi-095540747.html?guccounter=2&guce_referrer=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuemVyb2hlZGdlLmNvbS8&guce_referrer_sig=AQAAAMNV7JLdN2RSTLIvpZ35rxqLkMH5m8dcBbr5T40JNtu3dVKBQEN2bQ5snla1yxPDm2Mv5p8o1Dkcl_pfMAJ9_7LCWwRSsnsU9Dtyu5uknn0bTbnNBkOFDZFZE3IkiglpuyVD8Rae0_16ba7nupNkGWYSOPu8bvyhPqfCkRLOynOz

ZeroHedge stated, “Is this just the next stage in China seeing the writing on the wall for the USDollar as global reserve currency… As Alasdair Macleod wrote last year, China can escape the fate of a dollar collapse by tying the yuan to gold. 

With all its gold, by monetising it China could kill off the dollar tomorrow. Undoubtedly, this financially nuclear option has become a backdrop to her strategy in the ongoing trade and financial war against America. But the idea that by using this undoubted power over the dollar China gains a simple victory if through her actions the dollar is destroyed understates a more complex situation. It is not in China’s interest on many levels, not least because of her ownership of dollars is about $3.4 trillion, of which only $1.5 trillion is invested in Treasuries, agency, corporate and short-term debt in the US. …

It is only after … a cataclysm that China will have no alternative to abandoning all attempts to support the dollar and its means of buying overseas influence. China will then need to secure its own currency.

It will require a return to gold backing https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/china-readying-gold-backed-yuan

China is not the only one taking steps.

Why?

Many reasons, but a coming collapse of the USA dollar is one of them. Consider the following:

Through the first six months of fiscal 2021, the US government ran a record $1.7 trillion budget deficit. Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell said this is sustainable – for now.

During a webinar sponsored by the Economic Club of Washington DC, Powell said the economy can handle the current debt load. But he did warn that the long-term trajectory of the US budget is unsustainable.


Jerome Powell (Wikipedia)

The US federal budget is on an unsustainable path, meaning simply that the debt is growing meaningfully faster than the economy. And that’s by definition unsustainable over time. It’s a differnt thing to say the current level of the debt is unsustainable. It’s not. The current level of debt is very sustainable. And there’s no question of our ability to service and issue that debt for the foreseeable future.”

Powell said the US government will eventually have to “get back to a sustainable path.” https://schiffgold.com/commentaries/jerome-powell-admits-federal-budget-unsustainable-but-assumes-we-can-fix-it-later/

It would take real repentance (or some unexpected breakthrough) for the USA to “get back to a sustainable path.”

Do not count on it.

Others realize that the USA dollar has problems.

Furthermore, it is not only China that wants to bypass the US dollar.

Russia, Iran, North Korea, Venezuela, and even the European Union are looking to do so.

Will gold be a part of this?

According to biblical prophecies, absolutely yes.

And the Europeans, for example, do have gold. Actually, in total, more than any one else. The continental European gold reserves listed amount to about 11,353.4 tons. And this does not count Russia or the European nations that are not in the top 20. This is about the same amount as the USA, Russia, and China combined.

But the Europeans will get more.

Consider the following scriptures:

40 “At the time of the end… the king of the north … 43 He shall have power over the treasures of gold and silver (Daniel 11:40,43)

The King of the North is the coming European Beast power.

Notice some other scriptures related to gold during his reign:

14… And the wealth of all the surrounding nations
Shall be gathered together:
Gold, silver, and apparel in great abundance. (Zechariah 14:14)

12 … merchandise of gold and silver, precious stones and pearls … 16 … ‘Alas, alas, that great city that was clothed in fine linen, purple, and scarlet, and adorned with gold and precious stones and pearls! (Revelation 18:12, 16)

There are no similar statements backing up the future value of paper items, like the US dollar or the British pound (scripture, indirectly, teaches their elimination, for details see Anglo – America in Prophecy & the Lost Tribes of Israel). Daniel 11:24 shows that the leader mentioned in Daniel 11:40-43 will somehow also be accumulating wealth prior to this time, and that may involve gold accumulation (cf. Daniel 11:38). Perhaps to back up a European supported currency, he also may end up with personal and/or national gold reserves and/or wealth from the Vatican. The Vatican has a vast amount of wealth and is prophesied to be improperly involved with the kings of the earth in the end times per Revelation 17.

The Bible teaches that in the end time, the highly indebted nation will be taken over (Habakkuk 2:2-8)–no nation is more indebted than the USA–and on a per capita basis, the UK is one of the most indebted. They will be taken over and conquered during the Great Tribulation (Matthew 24:21; Daniel 11:39; watch also Do these 7 prophesies point to the end of the USA?).

It is NOT that we are to place our confidence in gold–and the Bible has passages warning against that.

But we are getting closer to the start of the Great Tribulation (see also When Will the Great Tribulation Begin?) and final time of the Gentiles that Jesus spoke of (Matthew 24:21; Luke 21:24).

Gentile nations are taking steps that the Anglo-American nations will one day regret.

Yet, most of the news media seems to pay little attention to what is really happening.

Hopefully, you have eyes to see and ears to hear–because most do not (cf. Ezekiel 12:2).

Update 04/18/21: The Continuing Church of God (CCOG) just put up the following video on our Bible News Prophecy YouTube channel:

12:30

China introduced something that was called the gold-petro-yuan back in 2018. Since then, the global share of US-dollar-dominated exchange reserves have dropped to 59.0%. In April 2021, China became the first major economy to unleash a Central Bank Digital Currency. China also has given its banks permission to import large amounts of gold. Is China preparing for a gold-backed yuan to push aside the US dollar or to help it survive a US dollar cataclysm? Are other nations preparing to push the US dollar aside? Do Europeans seem to have the most gold? Are Europeans prophesied to gain more gold? Is the US debt trajectory sustainable per Fed Chairman Jerome Powell? Does the Bible warn of the end coming to the highly indebted in Habakkuk 2:6-8? Why does it looked like a gold-backed currency will replace the US dollar? Will the US dollar, ultimately, become essentially worthless? Dr Thiel addresses these issues and more.
