I doubt very much that the Chinese are dumb enough to stack their silver in the USA - or any metal for that matter. For the simple reason that they don't trust the USA (and probably rightly so), but also just to not let anybody know how much they actually own. Same as they do it with their gold reserves.
If they stock pile something, they do this in their own country, where nobody can lay his hands on it.
