Banks must now report cash withdrawals or deposits of $10,000 or more. Furthermore, banks must report to the government any financial behavior on your part it arbitrarily deems \"suspicious\" or \"unusual.\" The World Economic Forum and World Bank are touting the creation of an international digital currency, an increasing number of businesses and venues in the U.S. have become \"cashless\" and the devaluation of the dollar has been in full swing in recent years. Swiss America CEO Dean Heskin says we need to be aware of the campaign against cash due to current and coming policies and prepare for what is to come through our podcast, THE SECRET WAR ON CASH, powered by Swiss America.","last_synced_at":"2026-07-15T08:20:22.976464+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-secret-war-on-cash-6603370"},"episode":{"title":"Why China Is Dumping Dollars and Stockpiling Gold","slug":"why-china-is-dumping-dollars-and-stockpiling-gold","published_at":"2026-07-14T19:14:31+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-secret-war-on-cash-6603370/why-china-is-dumping-dollars-and-stockpiling-gold","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-secret-war-on-cash-6603370","url":"https://www.spreaker.com/episode/why-china-is-dumping-dollars-and-stockpiling-gold--72973642","audio_url":"https://api.spreaker.com/download/episode/72973642/secret_war_on_cash_eo_286_a.mp3","summary":"China is not merely buying gold. It may be building the financial and industrial foundation for a world less dependent on the United States. In this episode of The Secret War on Cash , Dean Heskin and Chris Agelastos explore reports that China is selling dollar-denominated assets, reducing its exposure to U.S. Treasury securities and importing vast quantities of physical gold and silver. They also examine China’s control over the critical minerals and rare earth elements used in smartphones, semiconductors, artificial intelligence, robotics, electric vehicles, military technology, aerospace and renewable energy. The episode asks several urgent questions: Why has China spent decades accumulating control over strategic resources? How vulnerable is the United States after outsourcing so much mining, refining and manufacturing capacity? Could Hong Kong eventually challenge London and New York as a center of global gold trading? And what happens to the dollar when major countries choose physical assets over fiat currency? China’s strategy did not emerge overnight. It was built over roughly six decades while much of the West focused on short-term costs and quarterly returns. America may now face an expensive race to restore the industrial capacity it allowed to migrate overseas. Brought to you by Swiss America.
