Why Is China Buying So Much Gold? Are They Going To Use It To Back Them Dropping Our Debts?

http://www.creditwritedowns.com/2009/04/breaking-news-china-has-been-secretly-stocking-up-on-gold.html

They are probably trying to minipulate the market and also drive up the price of the gold they already own. China is stuck with our bonds. There is an old saying “If somebody owes you a little money they are a creditor, if they owe you a lot of money, they are a partner.”

The Ancient Art Music of China $12.78 This CD of ancient art music of China presents the yangqin (pronounced yang chin) performed by Lily Yuan, one of the foremost Chinese yangqin players. The instrument is a hammered dulcimer; that is to say, the Chinese version of the East European cimbalom or the Indian and Middle East santur. It has strings stretched over a wooden sound box, and the strings are hit by bamboo beaters. As many Chinese instruments, it came to China through Middle East, and most possibly Persia. Previously, it was an accompaniment instrument. It is only recently that it has become a solo instrument. The repertoire Lily Yuan proposes to us includes old traditional pieces, one dating back more than 1,200 years, all adapted for the yangchin, and some recent works. A gracefully talented musician! ~ Bruno Deschênes, Rovi Performers: Gerald Gold – Handbells, Wood Block; Lily Yuan – Yang Chin
