Leeb: Chinese Diplomat Lets Slip That Gold Is To Back The Yuan

``I was just speaking to a Chinese diplomat and I said to their diplomat, ‘Your two most important commodities are water and gold.'  And this diplomat said to me, ‘Yes, we need gold to back up the yuan.'  Well this diplomat realized very quickly they had made a terrible mistake in admitting that and began to back off and stated, ‘No, it's not to back the yuan.  It's because of jewelry.'  But it was too late, the horse had left the barn so-to-speak.''
