| Goldman Sachs ran the physical gold flows through the London market and found China's real reserves could be 4.8 times the official figure Beijing reports.
China's central bank has now bought gold for 20 straight months, its longest streak in at least a decade, even as gold just posted its worst quarterly drop in 13 years.
Washington has already responded. On May 21, 2026, a federal bank board unanimously approved a nearly 3 billion dollar loan to build a gold mine on American soil. See the full breakdown and the American company Washington picked |

| | Bolivia, a landlocked nation of 12 million, imports roughly 200 tonnes of mercury a year, more than China, India, or Russia. That mercury fuels illegal gold dredging deep in the Amazon.
In one year, 10 tonnes of Bolivian gold left the country without ever being officially mined. Meanwhile, China's central bank has reported 20 straight months of gold buying, and one Wall Street bank estimates the real total is nearly five times the official figure. See what China is actually preparing for now |

Police in eastern Congo once found twelve gold bars and $800,000 hidden under a car seat. A Swiss research group later uncovered a bigger gap: 435 tonnes of gold, more than a tonne a day, leaving Africa with no export record anywhere on Earth.
Ghana banned foreign gold traders and raided a house 48 hours later, arresting ten Chinese nationals. Meanwhile China has logged twenty straight months of official gold buying, with outside estimates suggesting the real total is nearly five times what Beijing reports. Uncover the hidden reason behind China's historic gold buying spree |
