Hopefully they actually open up for investment soon.
Note this is trade currency, not payment currency. Still a looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong way behind the dollar but still important to note. Also the USD overtook the EUR as the highest world payment currency in value.

Recent SWIFT data shows that RMB usage in traditional trade finance - Letters of Credit and Collections - grew from an activity share of 1.89% in January 2012 to 8.66% in October 2013, propelling the RMB to the second most used currency in this market. It ranks behind the USD, which remains the leading currency with a share of 81.08%. The RMB overtook the Euro, which dropped from 7.87% in January 2012 to 6.64% in October 2013 and is now in third place. The top 5 countries using RMB for trade finance in October 2013 were China, Hong Kong, Singapore, Germany and Australia.

Wasn't referring to the currency, more so actual country investment outside of the dim sum bonds, foreign listed stocks, and some other bank debt. During the Plenum (although nothing of substance comes out of that) premier Li made a lot of statements regarding attacking corruption and promoting markets. Essentially trying to position China in the world of finance, but as with everything else China says, it's more "believe it when I see it".

Foreign investment in China up 5.8% in first 10 months
FDI totalled $97bn USD

FDI is very different from portfolio investment, very different. I should have been more clear with what I was referring to. Even so, those figures are just gross inflows and mainly due to surrounding nations investment. If you compare those figures to other countries, considering the size and population of China, it's somewhat underwhelming. You can scan through country by country here.
Regardless, I understand the CPC is trying to slowly control the flow of foreign investment while they change growth models. That being said, the market is still "believe it when I see it" as the political elite and SOEs still control most of the power and monopolies in the country, and it is unlikely they would open up to outside portfolio investment when they can issue through SPVs to other SOEs and reap the returns.
