Good rundown in article. We were discussing this last night in the freenode #startups IRC channel ;)
The rumor is that the $20K per year investment cap is limited only to individuals and not institutional investors and funds. Furthermore, if there is massive demand, it is expected that those caps will be raised.
What is unclear is how your yuan can be used to make investments in China itself?
Why would the Chinese lift the cap for institutional investors? They would be the ones that would try to use the Yuan at some point. With a 20K cap, it's more like a novelty than a real investment.
It seems unlikely the Chinese have a need for many dollars flowing to them. I mean, look how many they have - unless something truly weird is going on...
