问得好，人民币加入SDR，好处首先当然是，以后中国人去国外旅游就可以直接使用人民币结算了，当然只是原则上如此，实际在其他主权国的货币使用情况，还是得由当地政策决定。
wèn de hǎo ，rénmínbì jiārù SDR ，hǎochu shǒuxiān dāngrán shì ，yǐhòu Zhōngguórén qù guówài lǚyóu jiù kěyǐ zhíjiē shǐyòng rénmínbì jiésuàn le ，dāngrán zhǐshì yuánzé shàng rúcǐ ，shíjì zài qítā zhǔquánguó de huòbì shǐyòng qíngkuàng ，háishì děi yóu dāngdì zhèngcè decision 。
That's a good question. Of course, first and foremost, the renminbi's inclusion in the SDR basket will mean that when Chinese people travel abroad they can settle accounts through the renminbi, of course this is just in principle, in practice when other sovereign currencies are in use, the local policy decides.
