Answer 1

From 2010 onwards current acount balance rises and again fall in near around 2012 then again rises and dip to lowest in 2017 and afyerwards started to increase but with low pace then earlier.

Whereas Reserves from 2010 where contiuously maintained but from 2014 reserves being converted to private capital flows and from 2017 again private flows decreases and reserves are maintained[lower than earlier].

Throughout the decade or so before to 2014, advancement of the capital account and conversion scale system advanced consistently. Policymakers bit by bit moved towards more noteworthy opportunity in the development of capital and adaptability in the conversion scale. The specialists eliminated limitations on specific sorts of capital streams. Somewhere in the range of 2010 and 2014 there were further changes, as the specialists permitted a scope of Chinese elements to contribute abroad. The utilization of the RMB for worldwide exchanges was likewise advanced, making channels through which private capital would have the option to stream out of China (Lowe 2017).

In 2018, Chinese policymakers have made speculative strides in again facilitating limitations on capital streams and permitting the RMB to turn out to be more market driven. A few estimates that had been utilized to control surges in 2015 and 2016 have been loosened up a bit, and steps have been taken to open certain pieces of China's economy to more prominent unfamiliar venture.
