Jim Rogers: No, that’s hard to do since China doesn’t publish too much about it. But I know that China has got a campaign encouraging the Chinese citizens to own gold. I know shops have sprung up everywhere. And the good banks are now offering gold everywhere. So there’s been a huge change in China in the past five years. And whatever they’re producing, I presume most of it they’re selling to themselves. They know that gold consumption has gone up a lot in China. They claim that they’re the largest producer of gold in the world now. I have no reason to doubt that claim. Lots of dramatic changes have taken place in China versus gold in the last few years. - in HardAssetsInvestor
