China’s state-run media giant Xinhua is reporting that the world’s second-largest economy will soon be deregulating and restructuring key sectors of its industry, including oil exploration and mining, in order to facilitate greater foreign investment in China.

“In its new ‘special management measures’ addressing foreign investment,” reports by United Press International, Beijing’s reform commission said the number of foreign investment-related restrictions will decrease from 48 to 40 items.

Gold tried and failed to break out in 2017, 2018, and 2019, repelled near a $1350 Maginot Line….CLICK for complete article
