Silver SKYROCKETS | China’s New Industrial Leverage

Описание: #chinavlogs #china #silver
Is silver the new frontline in the global trade war? As prices skyrocketed in 2025—outperforming even gold—the "white metal" has transitioned from a store of value to a critical strategic commodity.

In this in-depth WCICO interview, Angelo Giuliano and Alex Reporterfy break down the massive shift in the silver market and what it means for the global economy.

The Silver Explosion: 2025 saw silver prices breach a historic US$80 an ounce for the first time, with London silver recording a staggering 175% increase. But the story isn’t just about the price; it’s about control.

China’s New Leverage: The Chinese Ministry of Commerce has recently moved silver into a "strategic materials" category, similar to rare earths. By requiring companies to apply for two-year special export licenses, Beijing is tightening its grip on the global supply chain. As the world’s second-largest producer, China’s move to protect its domestic resources could worsen an already dire global supply crunch.

In this episode, we discuss:

Industrial Criticality: Why silver is indispensable for the defense industry, solar power, electric vehicles, and high-capacity batteries.

The "New Rare Earth": How China is refining its list of strategic commodities to include silver, tungsten, and antimony.

Geopolitical Leverage: Silver’s role in the ongoing superpower rivalry between the U.S. and China, and how it’s being used as industrial leverage in trade negotiations.

Domestic vs. Global: Why tighter controls may lower prices inside China while pushing them to record highs for the rest of the world.

As the "green transition" accelerates, the demand for silver is no longer just a financial trend—it is a matter of national security.
