Whoever has more gold is the true strong nation

Gold, for many, is associated with value preservation, risk aversion, and anti-inflation. However, from a national perspective, gold is far more than just a financial tool; it is a strategic asset. It can even be said that whoever holds more gold has more influence.

Currently, the country with the largest gold reserves in the world is still the United States, with official reserves exceeding 8,000 tons, accounting for more than 70% of its foreign exchange reserves. What does this mean? It means that during turbulent times in the global financial system, the United States still has confidence and support. As long as the value of gold continues to exist, the biggest beneficiary will certainly be the country that holds the most gold, which is the United States itself.

Now let’s look at another phenomenon: the United States has a huge external debt, yet it can still maintain the unwavering international status of the dollar. Behind this, it is actually supported by gold. On the surface, the United States relies on issuing bonds to maintain its global dominance, but the foundational credit support, in addition to military and technology, actually includes gold.

Observant individuals may have noticed that since 2022, several countries, including China, have quietly accelerated the growth rate of their gold reserves. This is not a coincidence, but a signal: the world is quietly reconstructing the economic order, and a “financial war” without gunpowder has already begun.

This war is not just a competition of the dollar and the renminbi, but also a contest of who can stabilize the “value anchor.” And gold is that anchor.

In the future international power play, gold may not directly go to battle, but it will certainly influence the direction of victory and defeat.
