A letter from China to Ben Bernanke (Wall Street Journal editorial) Speaking of gold…
Perhaps you have seen reports that we Chinese are doubling our reserves of gold and buying other related metals. Please do not be alarmed.

We will only be too happy to cease this flight from dollar assets when we observe your determination to tighten money; surely this must be why President Obama selected you over the distinguished White House economic adviser, Lawrence Summers.
Once again, on behalf of all of the Chinese people, our heartiest congratulations.
