3. CHINA'S GOLD RESERVES 
 
"China increases its gold reserves in order to kill two birds with 
one stone" 
 
The China Radio International sponsored newspaper World News Journal 
(Shijie Xinwenbao)(04/28): "According to China's National Foreign 
Exchanges Administration China 's gold reserves have recently 
increased. Currently, the majority of its gold reserves have been 
located in the U.S. and European countries. The U.S. and Europe have 
always suppressed the rising price of gold. They intend to weaken 
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 for the U.S. in maintaining the U.S. dollar's role 
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."
