Beyond gold and the dollar: How's RMB emerging as a safe haven?

Gold prices are swinging sharply, while the appeal of the U.S. dollar as the world's dominant reserve currency appears to be gradually eroding.

Episode 13 The use of Spies

Sun Tzu’s war theories are built on information and espionage. He believed a spy-master had to be very smart indeed, to sniff out the truth from mission reports.
