This was the highest monthly figure for the entire period of bilateral gold trade.<\/p>\n<h3 data-start=\"404\" data-end=\"423\">Delivery details<\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"424\" data-end=\"679\">According to official Chinese customs data, the value of gold imported from Russia in November reached <strong data-start=\"516\" data-end=\"533\">almost $1 billion<\/strong>, which is significantly higher than the average for the previous months. Russia has thus become one of the key suppliers of gold to the Chinese market.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"681\" data-end=\"855\">Analysts note that active purchases have been going on for several months in a row, and the total imports of Russian gold to China in 2025 are estimated at <strong data-start=\"832\" data-end=\"854\">billions of dollars<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h3 data-start=\"857\"

data-end=\"1351\">Gold is increasingly being used as a <strong data-start=\"1197\" data-end=\"1230\">strategic financial asset<\/strong> in settlements between countries under sanctions pressure or preparing for possible economic shocks.<\/p>\n<h3 data-start=\"1353\" data-end=\"1379\">Geo-economic implications<\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"1380\" data-end=\"1454\">Experts point out that increased gold
