光当世界的钱袋子还不够，人民币要想取代美元，中国还得学会当全世界的债主。 时至今日，很多人一谈起人民币国际化这个宏大问题，目光总是会被一个显眼的指标所吸引，外汇储备。 最新的IMF数据显示，虽然中国稳居世界第二大经济体的位置，但人民币在全球官方外汇储备中的占比依然稍显尴尬：仅排在第七位，甚至落后于澳元。相 比之下，美元依然以57%的份额傲视群雄。这种反差很容易引发一种迷惑：是不是我们还要更加努力，通过贸易让全世界多攒一点人民币呢？是不是只要大 家都把人民币当存款存起来，人民币就能拥有像美元那样的国际地位了呢？ 长期以来，主流经济学界有一种观点一直十分流行：如果想让一种货币成为全球储备货币，它的发行国就必须忍受长期的贸易逆差，向全世界输出货币。这 种观点是如此地深入人心，以至于如今似乎已经成了人民币国际化的一道心理障碍。作为全球最大的出口国家，难道中国真的要把自己变成一个逆差国，才 有可能让人民币走向国际吗？ 这揭示了国际金融体系的一个基本原理，也就是"资产负债匹配"原则。大多数国家和企业之所以储备美元，是因为它们欠了美元债。为了偿还利息和本金， 为了对冲汇率风险，它们必须持有美元资产。这才是美元霸权的真正锚点 ...
