China is a global leader in the production of precious metals; it was the top producer of gold and the third largest of silver in 2007. China’s continuing importance to the silver market is abundantly evident as it continues to not only produce more silver, but also consume more silver as well. 
With the global economy facing many challenges in its financial markets, silver investment and its use in industrial applications continues to rise, despite a dramatically higher silver price. Still, there are many challenges and opportunities in the silver market, and from an international scope, the China International Silver Conference is your best venue to learn about the role of silver in this key market, and how to get involved in this important market.
