CHINESE CLOUDS HAVE ALWAYS HAD SILVER LININGS! 中國的雲總是有銀襯裡! Historically, silver has always had a greater value within China than anywhere else in the world. Today, as with most things Chinese, we find history repeating itself. In the 16th century silver had a value double in China to that of Europe, the very same phenomenon […]
