It's not a deflection. Even in China where the Yuan is obviously readily accepted everywhere every person (
even foreigners!!) has a yearly bank quota limit of $50,000 worth of Yuan that can be exchanged to a foreign currency. You can't exchange 700,000 Yuan because that is approximately double ($109,000).
Meanwhile I can walk into a main bank in New York, London, or Japan and exchange say $250,000 into 231,000 Euros and then into 31,678,726 Japanese yen...without any hesitation and likely not even any paperwork.
But 700,000 Chinese Yuan into $109,000...that's not likely.
