Russian gold floods through Hong Kong in wake of western sanctions
📍 The outcome
{"epilogue": "Hong Kong emerged as an alternative route and the world's top buyer of sanctioned Russian gold, bypassing Western sanctions. Russia shipped a large quantity of gold to China and moved nearly 100 tonnes through Hong Kong.
Meanwhile, Beijing channeled mainland companies, liquidity, and gold-trading infrastructure into the city to revive it as a financial hub."}
