🚨😳 breaking news
Surging 800%! China massively buys Russian gold, and this buy-sell move directly strikes at the dollar system. Keep an eye on Musk-concept meme coin Puppies.
In 2025, China imported 25.3 tons of gold from Russia worth $3.29 billion, soaring 8× and 13.6× year-on-year, setting a historic bilateral trade record. On the surface, China and Russia appear to be trading based on supply and demand, but in reality this is a strategic breakthrough in de-dollarization that could reshape the global monetary order.
Russia selling gold is a forced response under Western sanctions. Russian gold has been shut out of the London market and dollar settlement channels have become ineffective, so it must be sold at high value to cover fiscal gaps. By exporting gold to China in exchange for RMB and then directly purchasing urgently needed industrial machinery and parts, Russia neatly bypasses SWIFT and the dollar system. Russia holds 2,300 tons of gold reserves and produces over 300 tons annually; selling only 1% of reserves preserves its foundation while quickly restoring liquidity.
China has increased holdings for 15 consecutive months because financial security demands it. Gold accounts for only 9.7% of China’s foreign-exchange reserves, far below the global average of 15%. Increasing gold reserves hedges against risks in dollar assets, strengthens financial stability, and provides hard-asset backing for RMB internationalization.
This gold trade also establishes a new gold + RMB settlement channel without dollars. The model is replicable and scalable. Other sanctioned countries or those seeking to reduce dollar dependence could follow suit, using gold to anchor local-currency settlements, sharply weakening the dollar’s role as an intermediary.
Ancient gold is returning as the ultimate currency, and China-Russia coordination is accelerating de-dollarization. Do you think this could truly shake dollar dominance? Will gold prices continue rising?
