Beijing
pushes for World Bank rival
--------------
China
is aggressively expanding plans to establish a new global financial institution
to rival the World Bank and the Asian Development Bank, which Beijing fears are too influenced by the US and
its allies. In meetings with other countries in recent weeks, Beijing has proposed
doubling the size of registered capital for the proposed bank from an earlier
$50bn to $100bn, according to two people close to the matter.
中國力推“亞洲基礎設施投資銀行”

中國正積極推進計劃，建立一家可與世界銀行和亞洲開發銀行分庭抗禮的全球金融機構。中國政府擔心，世行和亞開行過于受到美國及其盟國的影響。兩位知情人士表示，近幾周會晤其他國家的官員時，中國政府提出將擬議中的這家銀行的注冊資本從先前的500億美元翻倍至1000億美元。
