China is closer to the gold standard

Update from November 1st:
China Securities Index Co launched two gold-linked stock indices to cash in on surging demand for exposure to the safe-haven metal.
The new indexes include shares of global gold miners such as Newmont Corporation and Barrick Gold.
In response to Western responses to military conflicts, Chinese government-affiliated researchers are considering several strategies for China.
One is the issuance of gold-denominated bonds, supported by gold reserves, which would bolster economic resilience and establish China as a stable global player.
Another approach involves creating a global network of Chinese companies to diversify trade relationships and reduce vulnerability to sanctions.
Additionally, seizing American assets within China is seen as a retaliatory measure to protect Chinese interests and discourage unilateral actions by the U.S.
These strategies reported through Reuters collectively aim to ensure China's economic stability and global influence in an evolving geopolitical landscape.
