What is China entitled to receive in exchange for its financial support of eurozone?

And the world seems to be taking this desire seriously. IMF executive boarad debated whether the Fund should abandon its requirement that SDR be composed of 'freely usable' currencies. What keeps the yuan from being fully convertible? One factor is financial repression in China itself. The stability of the Chinese financial system is currently supported by a subsidy from Chinese households that is delivered in the form of a ceiling on deposit rates. Chinese banks fund themselves at lower-than-market rates.
