China has announced its first sale of government bonds in yuan outside the mainland.The government will sell 6bn yuan ($880m; £534m) of bonds in Hong Kong to "improve the international status of the yuan," the finance ministry said. The sale is a milestone as China opens up its financial markets and promotes its currency as a world benchmark. Earlier this year, China's central bank called for a new global reserve currency to replace the US dollar.
