The Financial Times reported that China is under-reporting their gold reserves, subversively hiding the fact they have accumulated 10 times as much gold as they have officially reported. The charts and data below from Visual Capitalist are based on “officially” reported numbers.Even these fake numbers show China accumulating gold at a rapid pace over the last five years. According to these charts, The U.S. supposedly has 8,133 tons of gold, but Trump’s unfulfilled promise to audit Fort Knox puts that figure in doubt. Officially, China has the sixth largest amount of gold at 2,280 tons. Unofficially, China’s reserves are at least 5,000 tons, with some estimates exceeding the U.S. levels.
