The One Thing Most Desired By Chinese Consumers Is...
Hint: it's not designer clothes, shoes, bags or watches.
And some additional explanation from the World Gold Council:
The Chinese traditionally regard gold as a form of money. Indeed, the character for gold in Mandarin (jin) is also a synonym for money. This is an important fact when it comes to the motivations behind the purchase of jewellery. Asian buyers of plain, 22 or 24 carat jewellery have no doubt in their mind that they are buying gold as well as an object of beauty that can be worn. The perception of value is very important in markets such as India and China where plain, very high carat or ‘pure gold’ articles bought on low-mark-ups comprise the majority of gold jewellery consumption. As such, the level and direction of local gold prices usually have an important bearing on jewellery consumption. This was very clear in 2013 when in April of that year the sudden slump in prices triggered an extraordinary wave of buying in China. Consumers perceived this as a unique opportunity to exchange renminbi for gold at a very favourable rate. It was also of course a chance to bring forward planned purchases for gifts or weddings, especially as the consensus was that prices were bound, eventually, to move a good deal higher.
World Gold Council consumer research indicates that consumers remain very positively disposed towards ‘pure gold’ jewellery. It might be thought that the disappointing price trend in the second half of 2013 had undermined this optimism as well as the public’s desire to purchase ‘pure gold’ jewellery. This does not seem to be the case. An extensive consumer survey conducted towards the end of 2013 on behalf of the World Gold Council illustrates how China’s population continues to view ‘pure gold’ jewellery as a form of money, with little indication that this traditional attitude will change any time soon. Asked whether they agreed with the statement that 24 carat gold jewellery "...is as much an investment as it is a fashion item” no less than 80% of the sample agreed, while only 4% disagreed (16% held no view either way). Agreement levels were strong across all respondents. Moreover, support for future demand is strong: in a separate survey of over 10,000 Chinese consumers, 76% of those aged between 18 and 27 also affirmed ‘pure gold’ jewellery’s investment status. And the majority of respondents planned to maintain or increase their spending on 24 carat gold jewellery over the next 12 months (44% and 35% respectively.

BUT BUT GOLDMAN SAID....!
Goldman was talking about gold financing deals. Those have nothing to do with consumer demand and everything to do with the leverage carry trade unwind.
WORD...
HUANG JIN SAN BAMEN!!!
If they had asked Chinese men only, the answer would have been quite different. We have them here in the USA, but they have virtually none in China. The answer is:
blonde women!

Was't Bernanke saying that gold is not money.
I remember a conversation between Bernank and Dr. Paul, regarding "money" Bernank explained that bank's offer consumers a service. I guess meaning his definition of money is the accounting system of inter-related assets and loans by banks. That is currency, not money.
Just because the western banksters WANT people to believe that the ancient relic is not a monetary standard doesn't mean that the majority of people on the planet believe it.
Saying used to be.
A luckiest person in the world is who has a living in America, a Japanese wife and a Chinese cook.
Things changed so quickly.
Golden Tiger Shark Wang?
Blow jobs.
Men would-a said blow-jobs
Lots and lots of blow-jobs
For those of you who don't know, HUANG JIN SAN BAMEN translates to GOLD BITCHES.
and I was wrong again.
My guess was toilet paper;)
Gold won maybe because "Australian passport" was not on the list.
They get off the plane down here and say "holy shit they have AIR to breathe down here, I need to buy me some real estate!"
"Report: One fifth of China's soil contaminated"
http://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-china-27076645
I would have expected to see things like "BREATHABLE AIR" and "DRINKABLE WATER" on the list.
Australia's totally socialist now, even though they have a lot of open spaces (mostly dry, uninhabitable desert), so the Chinese really see no reason to move there (well, some of them do, I suppose, because it's so much like the totalitarian socialist home they left).
I remember back in '69, swimming in the Fairlight side of Sydney harbour, just having a good time, and all of a sudden, a peice of toilet paper came floating by. Shortly thereafter, a whole bunch more came by me, along with a load of human feces. It seems that the sanitation workers' union had decided to call a wildcat strike, and they were dumping raw sewage in to the harbour to force their point. It was pretty shitty of them.
Yeah, you had to buy a license to have a television, even back then. Every year, they would put aside one entire day to preview the commercials for the coming year and broadcast them. I still remember the Aeroplane Jelly song.
They drive on the wrong side of the road, for God's sake! Their weather's ass-backwards, too.
"Tradition" was the word the retired traitor used.

Blondes? Once again, the Russians have everything the Chinese need.
I remember back when we were all told Russian women were hairy, fat & ugly. After the first few people came over after the collapse I was talking with this knockout babe and had to double take and ask again..."you said you were from where?" OMG.
Helll, ANY women!
Something else that wasn't on that list: Stone Lions.
You can never have enough Stone Lions!
Ya'll are a bunch of sick puppies,
and you're right.
But...these Chinese guys don't realize that most blond American women are also accomplished "surgeons"! They have done internships and are experts at performing "walletectomies"...the removal of ones wallet and jin/Au from ones body. After contact with these honeys, the gold will flow back west. Fort Knox will be full again.
Tall blondes...with small feet...
There's a reason why russianbrides.com is in business while americanbrides.com is for sale. ;)
And my Chinese wife does not demand any of that crap btw. Unless it is gold for savings. Still some good women over there, unless they are Shanghaiese. Or maybe she says that because she is a Beijinger.
http://www.the-niceguy.com/forum/
The survey asked what they intended to buy for themselves. I'm not in the market but I'm curious what the 'non-renting' price of a blonde woman is in China nowadays.
You mean this prediction?

Sales are good in Peru, and the wife is not beating me, Easter is mañana, so all looks relatively well. Until Monday anyway!
Good on you.
My wife beat me only once... she started in Feb 1989 and hasn't stopped.
Monday? Yeah, these times are a bit more interesting than I prefer.
Have you ever considered a divorce from your wife? That would stop the first beating and make sure it's a final beating by moving!
Ever notice that most govt/mosad/cheney sponsored False Flag Events happen on Monday's so they can milk the news week with repetitive window dressing stories to ramp up the fear and the certainty that one of their well paid terror groups are to blame, and that America needs to rally around the flag and say, go get those mean ol who ever the 'blamed of the day' is going to be.
There is no doubt that mark potack and his group of HATE FILLED anti-American traitors and foreign enemy agents will be in there too pumping the lies and dis-information to benefit who? The American People? Not! They are all about blaming the usual suspects in the liberty movement and stretching truth to it's en'th degree. Oh, but the rabbit hole of hell goes deep with its hateful group of evil things that hate freedom loving Americans, and America herself.
"The SPLC has two primary purposes; it serves as a business orientated, money-making scheme for millionaire Morris Dees. Secondly, it acts as a propaganda vehicle to attack opponents of cultural Marxism and Jewish supremacism in the United States and is particularly engaged in a racial campaign against European Americans, their social, cultural, religious and economic interests, as well as their represented leaders. The means in which it propagates this is through the mobilization of Freudo-Marxian newspeak, developed primarily by the Frankfurt School– known as political correctness."

"It is almost identical to other cultural Marxist and Jewish supremacist milieu groups, such as the ADL of B'nai B'rith and American Civil Liberties Union. The SPLC has tried to put across an ambiguous image to its de facto Jewish group interest nature. It was founded by Morris Dees and Joseph J Levin?–the former a cosmopolitan mercenary accused in court of child molestation,[1] the latter a confirmed Jew. The current SPLC president J Richard Cohen? is also Jewish, as is its main media representative Mark Potok.? The SPLC have positioned themselves as enemies of freedom of thought, speech, association and empirical inquiry in the United States."

He is not a Jew hater, we all know and have met many decent Jewish people just like there are many decent Christians, BUT there is a certain percentage in each group that are doing a lot of harm to the world in upholding the dollar hegemony, and have no compulsions about destroying governments and killing innocents. So let us maybe call them Jewish Mafia/ Jewish Banking Clans, Neo Conservatice Christians or MIC. And when someone strays remind them that maybe they are refering to JM or JBC or NC or MIC.
And while every country and ethnic group has these kinds of people, the above mentioned are in positions of extreme power by controling powerful militaries and financial systems that do a lot of damage.

Goldman has zero hard data on the existance any leveraged gold or copper financing deals beyond anecdotal evidence. It is all speculation and estimation. Even if it were true, China cannot export any gold by law. So it isn't coming back. And it assumes the structure of these deals does not involve already paper hedges which will be bought back or that there are not willing buyers for the gold outside of the banking system. I don't often strongly disagree with a major meme here. But this one is not soundly researched. The only gold financing deals that are going bad are the ones where the Fed has no gold to give back to other countries and the bankers have no gold to give back to the Fed. Those have always been the big problem.
All I see in the world are commodity prices breaking north across the board. Pick one and check the chart: http://finviz.com/futures.ashx . Nothing has changed on the math that leads to hyperinflation, except it has become even stronger. Goldman chooses not to accept that. That is their problem.

Answer: http://ethanmichaly.blogspot.com/2014/04/soft-landing.html
Question is, when the Chineese economy "corrects" will the average Chineese citizen holding phyz gold be forced to sell or trade for food ?
Lots of Chineese, not so much food.
Is this the bargaining chip the West is holding out on to get their gold back after the Chineese have been aggressively acquiring over the past few years?
It doesn't matter what they do , it matters if renbinmi loses its value as a currency and in the end people will regard gold as only money which can hold its value. even though some citizens sell their gold for food when they need, next time they make a small saving, they will buy gold again and again and again.
All the world need is the people losing trust in paper currencies, central banks will keep printing and at some point people will stop saving these papers and start buying more and more gold, at that moment it will go up exponentially.. wait and see, patience is the virtue...
Sure what they will do when gold reaches $3000 per ounce the USSA will declare marshal law and confiscate all gold = we will then see the silver standard.
As for everyone outside of the USSA expect to see gold rise £15,000 to £18,000
Marshal law means going for the flag, not the gold.
Martial, guys, please.
You know, like martial arts.
The Great Reset will end the dollar´s reserve currency status, and he who has the most physical gold...and that will be the Chinese...gets to set the price. The COMEX and LBMA will be vaporized once the real fun gets started. Jim Rickards thinks that the Chinese actually are buying gold to hedge their dollar holdings. He is way smarter than me, but I´m still thinking that since the Chinese know the dollar is eventually going to be Zimbabwe´d, and their current total debt is around $17 trillion or so (and rising), the only way they can neutralize such an enormus sum is to buy as much gold as possible (while slowly cashing out T-Bills), wrench control of the gold pricing mechanism, and then they will divide their debt amount vs. gold ounces owned...and that will be the new price of gold in renminbi.
We shall see soon enough how the shit storm plays out.
GLD still has 800 tons for them to fuck with. I think they're going to crush it over the next month, and the the western retailer disinterested, disheartened or disdainful once and for all, and then China and Russia will pull the plug on the $ and everyone will understand why they should own gold, but there will be none to be had.
But first, the paper-driven beating of all time, I bet sub-1000, and LBMA and Comex runs be damned.
May happen. That would implode the miners and throw thousands out of work as well. Coin shops and phyzz handlers will have dusty shelves in no time flat. People are not selling their phyzz. Those who stack know the games being played.
Yes, all true. But it will clean out GLD, and they'll make the spread, and probably position long, leaving the short-paper side with the impossible job of covering once they change the rules and REQUIRE physical settlement (after the USD collapses with a push from Russia and China).

"the USSA will declare marshal law"
Yup, I can hear ol' Festus now - "Weeeeel Marshal Dillon, since you're the only law around here since they declared Martial Law, where do I fit in?" "Now Matt, why are ya throwing Doc in the pokey for now?"
"Festus, Doc's been doing abortions on pretty near all the girls workin' upstairs at Miss Kitty's saloon. I've got no choice but to lock him up."
That's funny considering 98% of the global 'money supply' isn't even paper, it's CREDIT promising to pay paper.
People lose trust in paper, credit goes POOF!, no more 'money supply', just debt with no way to pay it....
China can easily feed itself, dont forget investments thay have made in Zimbabwe the breadbasket of Africa and in Ukraine farmland where they leased 10 percent of all arable land. Sure the West screwed them over with the coup, but over half that land sits in Eastern Ukraine. They have also take Kiev to the World Court for reneging on the contract for the farmland.
Yep and their Gub'ment is going to enjoy confscating it all just like FDR...
There were about 130M people in the US when FDR confiscated. How many of them held gold? A tenth? There are a friggin billion and a half people in China at the moment. Even if only a tenth hold gold currently, that's over a hundred million people. That's a lot of fucking people to go door-to-door and steal from. Draconian laws aside, there's no realistic way to confiscate from that many people without outright concentration camps and total disintegration of 'society' as observed.
Yes yes, blah blah. Now hold out your arm for this little RFID injection.
RFID injection. Well I got a little cramp in my arm here so you'll need to kill me to get that in.. If you get it in you'll need to kill me to keep it in and ohh yes I'll be doing the same to you..
"there's no realistic way to confiscate from that many people without outright concentration camps and total disintegration of 'society' as observed."
No way it's gonna happen in China and not enough Americans own a lot of PMs to make it worthwhile.
The Chinese would leave it buried under gardens, pig pens, etc, just like they did with silver and copper. It would remain in the families.
The gov in France sent out the forces to collect gold door to door when their paper collapsed... didn't work well.
Taxation or laws against ownership would create a big black market and smuggling.
I dont believe they intend a repeat of collections. Central banks and gov's have all colluded to sell it.
When the time comes for a new currency, if there is no metal left to back it or little in population to collect then what are they going to do? Simple - produce another fiat without the trouble of involving metals again. It didn't work last time and this time around they are not going to give it a chance.
If they were forced to sound money again, all the carefully constructed credit and debt society we live in today would have to change, take that option away and poof, next time around can be a copy even if in public they talk about the opposite.
Govts can create new fiats but who would trust their new fiat when it smells still like the old fiat. What you will have is a shadow economy based on gold. Where payments for many transactions will be conducted in gold or silver etc.
dupe
it doesnt matter. If america tries to do a fiat switch it will totally fail to restore confidence anywhere but on the dopey US mainland - and even then only temporarily
if China, russia or anyone else is not given adequate compensation for their labor and resources in the next reset currency, they will refuse to participate in it and go gold/silver instead - and the market will be able to place more faith in them than in the reset fiat currency
you gotta understand, central banks dont WANT to go back to a PM standard - but they will as the least problematic of all alternatives
I understand what you're saying but that wont last either. They've watered down the metal, take China while they may end up having more or the most metal, divide that up against their own debt and population and you're in the same situation. At most I see it as a temp backstop for all who have it what little there really is and that excludes the possiblity of wars that would errupt due to not playing the game.
fun fact... the creator of the Chevrolet Corvette (Zora Arkus-Duntov) used to smuggle gold from France into Belgium... used a Mercedes with a hollow frame to do it at the ripe old age of 16...
come to think of it, much of US racing in general has its origins in smuggling and bootlegging... good times
so dukes of hazzard was an historical drama?
Would you watch while your loved ones are tortured and killed before you? Fucking morons arent even smart enough to FEAR your next door neighbors YET. That day is coming soon enough, when the bounty is high enough mos will do what they abhor to get by.
you do not confiscate. you make it illegal to own and transact with just like FDR did.

So questions for the WGC: Will Chinese demand in 2014 exceed 2013? Why doesn't the WGC use SGE withdrawls as their data for Chinese gold consumption?
http://www.ingoldwetrust.ch/sge-withdrawals-equal-chinese-gold-demand-pa...
Answer to your question from James Rickards (The Death of Money)..... YES, and it's tied to the IMF and SDR's.
I thought waning Chinese demand was a reason pontifcated by the TBTF banks as to why gold will most certainly plunge to as-yet-unseen depths in a never ending death spiral as earnings of US corps surge to even higher all time highs.

And judging from the threadbare carpets and pervasive smell of piss and vomit, it's at least 10,000 years old.
They also excavated an early version of Paris. Those damn Africans, always stealing American culture. We oughta bomb their asses back to the Stone Age, just like we did the Romans.

My thoughts on the US (Fed / Ft. Knox) gold is that it still exists but has been transferred to a number of cabal controlled groups. When the CIA ran black ops in Vietnam they set up drug networks in the Golden Triangle. I recall that all of the warlords in Burma sold their opium for gold, jewels and military hardware. They did not take American Express or US fiat. When the reset comes the US puppet masters will be put out of business but the CIA and other cabal entities will just corrupt the next group with gold, inside information, illegal arms, coercion, etc.
Hmmm maybe we can spray aerosalized opium all over China and get the whole country addicted again, that way we can screw them over a few more generations like last time.
hey, ft. knox was last audited in 1953 by Pussy Galore and her flying circus. We've got not worries.

I'm shocked that palladium jewelry was even on the list. Not a very common item.
True but how much gold is there out there to meet demand. Let us not forget Ukraine supposedly has some huge deposits from what people have posted on here.
Bitcoin and gold ! thats what they want
Sending money to a physical gold ponzi dealer like Tulving then end up with a share of his 8 year old white vans.

Scary stuff. I wonder how much people got burned for. I sold the guy 500oz of silver for $32 bucks an ounce a few years ago. I was very happy with the service and have actually recommended people use Tulving. For once I am glad nobody ever listens to me. And before you think I am bragging about selling at $32, I sold and re-invested the money in silver miners. Can't win 'em all.

Geee do you think the Ukrainian gold got transported in those kind of vans to the Airport when it got taken out of the country to who know where????
Also had many great transactions with Hannes & Co. in the past. I don't need a van, though.
FWIW, good ol' Hannes Tulving is in hiding, has already missed at least one court appearance.
I don't know enough about the case to opine intelligently whether Tulving just got overwhelmed by his own bad business practices, or whether he deliberated defrauded his customersd of some $40 million. At any rate, some time behind bars is indicated, and may actually be inflicted upon the perp, as i doubt Hannes qualifies as TBTF.
A well-publicized trial, conviction and prison sentence may be in the interest of the anti-PM crowd. I think the only real lesson here is that when you pay anyone for PM, what you must immediuately receive is metal, not a bill of sale or a receipt.
The will never find him, I am sure he has visited a plastic surgeon already and he has a passport in another country under another name. 40 million dollars can buy you a lot of friends in South America and Switzerland

take green cash to a local dealer and leave with your metals. pay a little extra premium but much ssfer and big brother will not know either.

bearish...just means govt will ban it.
U.S. Government yes.
Chinese government happy to have their people possess Gold distributed in little safes and hiding spots all over the country.
It will circulate and be in China, not the U.S., they don't need to confiscate it.
U.S. on the other hand can't tolerate anything other than fiat.
100% digitized and trackable coming 'ere long too.
you give the chinese govt too much credit. wait until they have to print, which they avoid right now with lies, and see how open they are to citizen's owning gold.
There was an article here at ZH that talked about the chinese having printed 3X what the US has.
I would have thought clean air.
I do admire the Chinese. My best friend is a Chinese woman who survivied harsh treatment during the Cultural Revolution and somehow made it to America 25 years ago. She arrived with nothing and spoke almost no English. Her first job was working in a sandwich shop. She now owns property in three states and is set for life.
Having said that, I do wish the Chinese and their BLM stooges would leave Cliven Bundy alone.
I met some Chinese students 15 years ago and talked to them about the Chinese/American dream, what does your generation want I asked.
1-2-3-4-5 was the answser.
1 wife
2 kids
3 car garage
4 bedroom house
5 figure salary.
I think that fits the list of good in the chart pretty well. Or they surveyed 13212 house wives.
