3. CHINA'S GOLD RESERVES

"China increases its gold reserves in order to kill two birds with one stone (一石二鳥)"

The China Radio International (中國國際廣播電台) sponsored newspaper World News Journal (世界新聞報 2009年4月28日): "According to China's National Foreign Exchanges Administration（外管局） China 's gold reserves have recently increased. Currently, the majority of its gold reserves have been located (存放) in the U.S. and European countries. The U.S. and Europe have always suppressed (打壓) the rising price of gold. They intend to weaken (削弱) gold's function as an international reserve currency. They don't want to see other countries turning to gold reserves instead of the U.S. dollar or Euro. Therefore, suppressing the price of gold is very beneficial (有利) for the U.S. in maintaining the U.S. dollar's role (美元本位) as the international reserve currency. China's increased gold reserves will thus act as a model and lead other countries towards reserving more gold. Large gold reserves are also beneficial in promoting the internationalization of the RMB （人民幣國際化）."

中國是13億人口的世界大國，國家公佈的黃金儲備只有1054噸，人均0.0000008108噸=0.026金衡安士, 要是人民銀行透過第三方購買黃金也無可口非。 如果太過明目仗膽的向市埸表態，想必會蹦緊全世界的神經，畢竟國家有超過3萬億美元的外匯，沒有哪個經濟體能承受得住如此龐大的銀彈, 敢接受這銀糧的國家必定會造成國內經濟過熱和資產價格的極度膨脹，最終以泡沫破裂為結局－－國家如此頭痛外儲過剩也是考慮到這個問題的嚴重性。
