Four Major Developments Gold Investors Should Watch

Has anyone heard about the Chinese threat to default on commodities contracts/?? That they would sell gold calls then refuse to deliver the physical gold?? If they did that in retaliation to the BHO governments printing paper money like monopoly money who would enforce the contracts????
