I agree with the opinion of putting economic interests ahead of politics and ideology. Since Lagarde shows friendly to China, it is unwise to refuse it, especially when Lagarde is the would-be IMF leader. Otherwise the potential loss will be great to China. Just as Chinese old saying goes that one who refuses a toast only to drink a penalty. Of course, in some sense, China may have more common interests with those from third-world countries, but that doesn't mean they will get the power to give China more benefit. On one hand, they may not get the power even if they get the votes from China. On the other hand, suppose they get the power, it doesn't mean they will bring more benefit to China than what Lagarde does. Therefore, on this sensitive issue, China doesn't declare its stands very clearly. I think it's a wise attitude.
