China operates not only as a "lender of last resort" by offering Rescue Loans but also extends Currency Swap Agreements to internationalise the RMB.

Rescue loans are mainly used to bail out debt laden developing countries while currency swap agreements with both developed and developing countries serve several other purposes.
