China is now the world's third largest economy, but its role in international financial institutions remains rather limited.
The United Kingdom will fully support an expanded Chinese role in international financial institutions at the upcoming G20 summit in London.
"The United Kingdom will fully support an expanded Chinese role in international financial institutions."
"The UK wanted to see China occupy a rightful place in both the IMF and the World Bank."
"It's a signal we have been waiting for and very much welcome."
--Duncan Sparkes, counselor for trade and economic policy of the British Embassy in Beijing
