China among top buyers as gold overtakes US Treasuries in global reserves: ECB – South China Morning Post

EXCERPT:
China is one of the world’s largest buyers of gold as central banks shift towards the precious metal, which has overtaken US Treasuries to become the world’s top reserve asset amid higher valuations and its appeal as a geopolitical hedge, the European Central Bank said.
The world’s second-largest economy was the fourth-largest per-country buyer of gold in 2025 after Poland, Kazakhstan and Brazil, purchasing about 25 tonnes, the ECB stated. It estimated that China had bought more than 350 tonnes of gold since early 2022, more than any other country.
Gold accounted for 27 per cent of global official foreign reserves at the end of 2025. By contrast, US Treasury bonds – long considered one of the world’s safest reserve assets – fell to 22 per cent, with the euro making up 15 per cent. Those figures comprised both foreign exchange holdings and gold, the Frankfurt-based central bank said in a report this week.
Gold’s share topped Treasuries and the euro mainly because of “valuation effects”, with prices rising by about 60 per cent last year and 30 per cent in 2024, according to the report. These gains “mechanically increase the share of gold in total official foreign reserves”, the central bank said.

California has officially used the doctrine that a child can choose their sex to take that child away from their parents. California now wants to put the girl up for adoption after the mother lost custody of her daughter in a court ruling. It is presumed the adopting adults most agree to transition the girl to a boy if she chooses to. The girl was 15 at the time she was placed into state custody.
The girl is the daughter of a Ukrainian immigrant, Alexandra Lyaschenko, who herself is hiding in Florida to prevent the state of California from taking her son into custody as well. The state of California also wants to put her son in the foster care system because his mother refuses to allow him to transition to a girl.

New York City police arrested three people after an anti-Israel mob swarmed the Young Israel Senior Services of Midwood in Brooklyn on Monday night.
The synagogue hosted “an event promoting real estate in Israel and the West Bank.”
The anti-Israel group Pal-Awda NY/NJ organized the protest. The group uses “slogans such as ‘No settlers on stolen land’ and ‘Stop the sale of stolen Palestinian land.’”
New York State Sen. Sam Sutton condemned the event.
“Neither of these protests would have happened had these venues not chosen to host illegal sales of stolen Palestinian land,” the group responded. “The people of New York will not stand by while the ethnic cleansing of the Palestinian people is aided and abetted by institutions in our own city.”

From The New York Post:
The anti-Israel mob chanted “Palestine is ours alone,” and several carried a wide banner that read “Israel is killing children.”
During one fight, a person who concealed their face with a medical mask yanked a girl’s hair — and nearly threw her against a parked car in the process, according to a video obtained by The Post.
Shortly after, another man squared up against a squad of young men carrying a Palestinian flag.
“Let’s go, motherf–kers, c’mon! C’mon, motherf–kers!” the man yelled.
At least two teenage pro-Israel protesters were detained. As the NYPD marched them down the streets, their supporters followed and chanted for the cops to “let them go.”
An anti-Israel protester was also detained, cops said.
All three individuals taken into custody had thrown items during the heated protest, according to the NYPD.
