Inthe IMF’s legitimacy, more than6%of the share transfer to emerging marketcountries, China in the IMF’s share has jumped to third place.

The system is based on interest-based international monetary systemformed the basis of national estimates of self-interest. The pursuit of individualinterests does not mean endless betrayal, opt for cooperation is also measured by theindividual national interests. Study the development of the international monetarysystem, we must first understand that the international monetary system is currentlyin a cooperative or non-cooperative game-led pattern of interests, and why theexisting international monetary system can be subsisting.
