委内瑞拉政府有十亿美元的黄金放在英格兰银行。它最近想使用。可是英国法庭说，“不行。你不再是委内瑞拉的合法政府。我们英国已经承认了你的反对党政府”。

这就是自我封闭的国家、缺乏安全感的国家、不敢开放的国家、无自信的国家、一心只想外汇储备、因为害怕索罗斯而把自己的货币体制嫁接在美元/美元/欧元之上的国家的下场。可怜。但也活该！

我们中国人该想想！我们的外汇储备、其它外汇资产并不在延安窑洞，而是在欧美银行的帐上。只是一个记录而已。

UK court rejects Maduro’s claim on $1bn of Venezuelan gold held by Bank of England。FT 3 July 2020.

High Court says opposition leader Juan Guaidó is ‘unequivocally’ recognised as legitimate president.

A British court has dealt a blow to attempts by Nicolás Maduro’s regime to access $1bn of Venezuelan gold held at the Bank of England by ruling that opposition leader Juan Guaidó had been “unequivocally” recognised as Venezuela’s president by the UK.

Mr Justice Teare said on Thursday that it was the British government’s prerogative to decide who was the legitimate head of state. Previous cases had established that the government had to speak with one voice on such an issue and so there could be no doubt about its decision, he ruled.

“This is a tremendous victory,” said Vanessa Neumann, Mr Guaido’s ambassador to the UK. “The verdict is a victory for the people of Venezuela and for the rule of law more generally. It highlights the importance of a judiciary that is independent and non-political.”
