Joining the US dollar, the British pound, the euro, and the Japanese yen in the SDR club would be symbolically significant. More important, as with China’s accession to the World Trade Organization in 2001, which required substantial reforms, fulfilling the conditions for joining the SDR promises to speed progress toward full capital-account liberalization – and thus toward a fully convertible renminbi.
加入美元、英镑、欧元和日元的行列成为SDR俱乐部的一员具有象征性重要意义。更重要的是，就像2001年中国加入世贸组织需要其做出重大改革一样，满足加入SDR的条件意味着中国必须加快走向资本账户完全自由化——从而实现人民币的完全可兑换。
