Actually, I wasn't referring to the business capital account, but to a business current/operating account...which still involves issues when it comes to (re) conversion. Nobody should be injecting money into a capital account unless they intend to make a true business investment, and that should be accompanied by a suitably long term horizon. Definitely not a vehicle for RMB currency speculation.
