What is a Chi? Platinum weight, conversions and local use
Definition. The chi (3.75 g) is one tenth of a Vietnamese luong (tael) and the everyday unit for gold in Vietnam. Locally it is written chỉ. One chi equals 3.75 grams, or 0.12057 troy ounces, which at today's platinum spot price works out to — TWD.
Where it is used. SJC bars are sold in 1 chi, 5 chi and 1 luong sizes, and jewellery is quoted in chi with the purity stated as 24K, 18K or 610. The unit is the trading standard in Vietnam.
Pricing conventions. Vietnamese SJC-branded gold has historically traded well above the world price because of import limits, so a local chi quote and a converted world price can differ substantially. Platinum has almost no traditional-unit retail market: it is quoted per ounce or per gram, and this conversion is mainly used for jewellery weighing and industrial stock.
Good to know. One luong equals 10 chi equals 37.5 g, matching the Taiwanese tael.

Buying Platinum in Taiwan: local market, taxes and premiums
At the live price shown above per chi, the price you see here is the international XPT spot price converted into Taiwan Dollar. Physical buyers in Taiwan pay that reference plus a premium, and local trading is concentrated around Taipei, through bank gold passbooks and jewellers. Buyers there generally watch the Bank of Taiwan posted buy/sell price per gram as the day's reference.
Taxes and duties. Silver, platinum and palladium are sold mainly as jewellery or industrial material and are taxed as ordinary goods. Platinum is a much smaller market driven by autocatalyst and jewellery demand, so local availability is patchier and dealer spreads wider. That is why the shop price of platinum in TWD can sit noticeably above the spot value of the same chi of metal.
How people usually buy. The common routes in Taiwan are Bank of Taiwan gold passbook accounts, bank counters selling bars, jewellery stores and online dealers. The products most often quoted locally include Bank of Taiwan 1 tael bars, gold passbook grams, 9999 jewellery.
Local conventions. Taiwan uses its own 37.5 g tael (台兩) and the Bank of Taiwan gold passbook is the most common way to hold metal without delivery. Before you buy, compare the dealer's asking price per chi with the live platinum price above, and check the buy-back spread the same dealer offers — that round-trip cost matters more than a small difference in the headline TWD quote.
