China Calls for World to Be 'De-Americanised'

China's official news agency has called for the creation of a "de-Americanised world", saying the destinies of people should not be left in the hands of a hypocritical nation with a dysfunctional government.

Heaping criticism and caustic ridicule on Washington, the Xinhua news agency called the US a civilian slayer, prisoner torturer and meddler in others' affairs, and said the 'Pax Americana' was a failure on all fronts.

The official news agency of China, which is seen as the pretender to the world's superpower crown, then rubbed in more salt, calling American economic pre-eminence just a seeming dominance.

"As US politicians of both political parties are still shuffling back and forth between the White House and the Capitol Hill without striking a viable deal to bring normality to the body politic they brag about, it is perhaps a good time for the befuddled world to start considering building a de-Americanised world," the editorial said.

It asks why the self-declared protector of the world is sowing mayhem in the financial markets by failing to resolve political differences over key economic policy.

"... the cyclical stagnation in Washington for a viable bipartisan solution over a federal budget and an approval for raising debt ceiling has again left many nations' tremendous dollar assets in jeopardy and the international community highly agonised," the agency said.

It is not the first time Chinese leadership and newspapers have criticised Washington over a policy paralysis that threatens to devalue its dollar assets.

According to US Treasury Department data, China is the biggest foreign owner of US Treasuries at $1.28 trillion as of July. Besides, China also holds close to $3.5 trillion of dollar-denominated assets.

A US debt default and consequent credit downgrade would significantly erode the value of China's holdings.

As the first step in creating a de-Americanised world, all nations must try to shape an international system that respects the sovereignty of all nations and ensures the US keeps out of the domestic affairs of others, Xinhua said.

"The developing and emerging market economies need to have more say in major international financial institutions including the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund, so that they could better reflect the transformations of the global economic and political landscape," the editorial says.

It also called for an end to the use of the US dollar as the international reserve currency, a step that would ensure the international community could maintain a safe distance from the side-effects of domestic political turmoil in the United States.

Yeah, because everyone knows that they defeated the IJA without any help from the US, Australia or other countries in the region. They did it all themselves didn't they?

Same old rhetoric that has been playing over and over for years now. If they were serious they would slap on export bans to the US, or insist the US pays for their trinkets in Euros. Like that's gonna happen. Mind you they are divesting themselves of US paper, mostly in exchange for copper iron ore and GOLD.

U.S., Switzerland Export Largest Ever Amounts Of Gold To Hong Kong And Investors Should Take Note

Oct 9 2013

Chinese gold import data have just been released for August, and it shows that imports are still very strong. But what investors should really take note of is that imports into Hong Kong were close to 300 tonnes in August - which would put them on pace to suck up all of global mine supply.

(click to enlarge)

Source: http://www.sharelynx.com

Net imports into the Chinese Mainland, after deducting flows from China into Hong Kong, were 110.5 tonnes, down slightly from the close to 120 tonnes a month earlier. Mainland buyers purchased 131.4 tons in the month, including scrap, compared with 129.2 tons in July, data today from the Hong Kong government show. In terms of year-over-year changes, Chinese mainland buyers purchased 53.5 tonnes last year, which means that gold purchases more than doubled - which is clearly shown in the chart above.

But what is really interesting is that Hong Kong imports of gold increased to 297 tonnes - which is the largest amount of gold imports on record as investors can see in the chart below.

(click to enlarge)

If these 297 tonnes are extrapolated over one year, they would be equivalent to 3600 tonnes of gold or significantly higher than all of world gold mine production - that is a staggering amount of gold being imported into Hong Kong.

Digging a little deeper we find that the two countries that exported the most gold to Hong Kong during the August period were the United States and Switzerland.

(click to enlarge)

(click to enlarge)

According to Hong Kong ministry records, both of these countries exported the most gold ever to Hong Kong in August, with the U.S. net exports totaling 32.58 tonnes and Swiss net exports totaling 132.8 tonnes. High Swiss exports makes sense since Switzerland is the world's refiner of choice and most scrap gold travels to Switzerland to be refined and re-exported.

But U.S. exports of 32.58 tonnes are a bit surprising since the U.S. only produces anywhere from 15-18 tonnes of gold per month and gold production totals have been dropping as miners like Barrick Gold (ABX) and Newmont (NEM) have experienced falling gold grades. That leaves more than 15 tonnes a month of existing U.S. gold stocks that are being exported to Hong Kong - and that assumes the rest of the world or U.S. citizens don't consume any gold.

Conclusion for Investors

The latest Hong Kong government data show that Hong Kong and Chinese demand for gold is still very strong even after prices have stabilized. Additionally, exports are clearly heading East with Hong Kong registering the largest reported net imports of gold in its reporting history and at this pace all world gold mine production would be imported into Hong Kong.

Additionally, U.S. exports of gold to Hong Kong are double its production, which means that the United States is losing a lot of gold every month. At some point either U.S. gold available for export will be cut and global prices for gold will probably rise, or Hong Kong demand for gold will drop and the gold price will probably drop alongside of it. It's like a global game of gold chicken.

We believe that at a certain point Eastern gold demand will overwhelm Western available gold - which is what happened with the collapse of the London gold pool in the late 1960s. The players were different but the game was the same, physical gold was used to meet demand and the gold price languished around the set $35 dollar price level as gold was sold from U.S. vaults to satisfy physical demand. But at a certain point those defending the $35 dollar price level decided that they had used enough physical gold and could no longer satisfy physical demand, and that's when the gold price really started to rise.

So investors need to decide which side they believe will break first, the Eastern gold buyers or the Western gold sellers. We believe that all the signs are pointing to a short supply of physical gold and large increases in the currency base, so investors should take the Eastern side in this game and thus they should consider buying physical gold and the gold ETFs [SPDR Gold Shares (GLD), PHYS]. For investors looking for higher leverage to the gold price, they may want to consider miners such as Goldcorp (GG), Yamana Gold (AUY), Randgold (GOLD), or even some of the explorers and silver miners such as First Majestic (AG).

Hong Kong data is showing that Eastern demand is still very strong for gold. The question investors should ask is will Asian buyers be exhausted first or Western sellers - we think the Asian buyers are clearly showing their desire for gold and investors should take note.

Remember that China needs the US just as much as the other way around.

China manufacturing output is around $3T annually and US second at about $2.5T.

Without the trade between each other both are in the poo.

The GOP is about to cave in and give Obama the almost total surrender he seeks. Obama this time round has routed the republicans, after he got badly burnt in 2011.

Imagine if the Australian house of reps and senate passed a law to create Medicare, it is the law of the land. The opposition decides it does not like the outcome of it and decides to not fund the budget for the entire Australian government also increase the borrowing capacity of the Government. It is pure blackmail of the GOP to get Obama to cave in and remove Obamacare.

This time around the GOP has been smashed in the polls and many of its large donors (corporations) are telling the GOP to do a deal or risk losing their support and money.

Look at our last election here, labour had about 35% of the vote, under Gillard labour was polling around 30-33%. The GOP (republicans) are polling 28%, down 10% just prior to the Government shutdown. Unless the GOP do a deal very soon, they could have just lost the next Presidential election and handed the Democrats another term in office with a new president.

Obama is right on this issue, you cannot be held to blackmail to run the government on laws which are already legislated simply because the other side did not like the outcome. The GOP will now pay a heavy price as they bend over, part the checks and Obama inflicts his pain on them.

I am starting to think they want to default. Empires dont accept being moved down the totem poll without trying a few tricks.

The Brits tried this in 1931.

"The Bank of England goes off the Gold Standard - 1931

The Illuminati put the world back on the gold standard in 1925 with the intention of destroying the gold backing at a later date. This took place 21st September 1931, when Britain left the gold standard.

The British gold default destroyed orderly world trade. The 'world monetary system' of that time was a pound sterling system based on the gold standard.

Jackson E. Reynolds, then President of the First National Bank of New York, has said, "When England went off Gold it was like the end of the world."

The world fractured into competing currency blocs, including the British pound sterling bloc, the US dollar bloc, the Franc bloc, the Soviet ruble area and the Japanese yen zone.

Webster Tarpley explains how this trade war would lead to a world war:

"The currency chaos meant that there was no reliable means of settling commercial payments among these blocs. World trade atrophied. The situation was difficult for everyone, but it was worst for those blocs which had the greatest dependency on exports and on importing oil, metals, rubber, and strategic raw materials.

The pound sterling, dollar, franc and ruble each had some raw materials backing. But the German mark, Japanese yen and Italian lira had virtually none. Each of these states embarked on an economic regime of autarky so as to conserve foreign exchange. For Germany, Italy, and Japan, aggressive territorial expansion towards possible sources of oil and metals became the only available surrogate for foreign trade."

Its inevitable at some point for China to take over from the US as the "boss" of the world.
I think its almost sad seeing the fall of America happen this fast and decisively.

Would the GOP even get in next time? They've imported so much self entitled vermin into America who primarily support the self entitled chardonnay socialist vermin. May as well fuck it up.
