The internationalisation of the Renminbi (RMB) is one of the more contentious and widely debated aspects of economic reform in China. Beijing has been prudently hastening the currency's use in recent years through a steady liberalisation programme. China's new leaders have galvanised this free-market push since taking charge in 2013, bringing about capital market and interest rate liberalisation and establishing the Shanghai Free Trade Zone in the first few months of office.

Starting from January 2015 new "Handling Procedures for Foreigners entering China for the Accomplishment of Short-term Work Assignments" are implemented on a trial basis. They allow foreigners to work for certain short assignments (in general less than 90 days) based on an M-/F- (business) or Z-type visa. This might also be a legal solution for some foreign interns in China.
