John:
As far as I know, the PRC (Peoples' Republic
of China) uses SI for almost everything.
There may still be some exceptions, though,
in the former British colony of Hong Kong. I bought a couple of 24 karat (i.e.,
pure) gold chains there, 16 years ago. Their mass was expressed in taels (1 tael
= 37.4 g). I think the use of taels is/was confined to the precious metals
trade.
