JUST IN: 🇷🇺 🇨🇳 Russia has moved nearly 100 Tonnes of GOLD through Hong Kong in just seven months, a record that dodges Western sanctions entirely. That's almost Triple the same period last year. Since London closed its doors after the Ukraine invasion, Russia has redirected its gold east, where Hong Kong and China impose no restrictions. The US even sanctioned Hong Kong firms in 2024 to stop it, but the flow only accelerated. Hong Kong entities have now bought $35 Billion in Russian bullion since 2022, most of it flowing into China, per the FT.
