MineWeb's Williams praises GATA consultant Jansen's work on China gold demand data

MineWeb's Lawrence Williams today praises gold researcher and GATA consultant Koos Jansen for getting to the heart of Chinese gold demand data that shows that China's gold offtake is much greater than generally reported.

Williams writes: "Once again it has taken Koos Jansen to let the world know what the real figures for Chinese gold demand and gold import figures were for last year. The data was actually published in Mandarin Chinese in September with the release of the 2014 China Gold yearbook by the China Gold Association. Yet none of the mainstream Western media seems to employ anyone who reads Chinese, or at least no one who does who may be asked to cover gold. The yearbook was apparently made available at the Beijing China Gold Congress that month."
