I am close to China and Chinese even crazily buys gold over here, gold shops are always full of Chinese:devilish:
 
Hello,
It's not strange to think that Chinese people have always trend to store gold. And I wonder that why do they that while their country have the largest amount gold in the world?

Asians view Gold differently to us in the West. In the West we translate the price of Gold back into Dollars (or sterling) so if we buy one ounce at £1,000 and it goes to £900 we all think the loss is £100.

Asians don't do that. They view the Gold as a currency in its own right so if they buy at £1,000 an ounce (in their own currency) and it moves to £900, it's not viewed as a loss. Same as if they buy at £1,000 and it goes to £1,500, that's not viewed as a profit per se. It's hard for Westerners to undertstand this concept though.
