China’s world banks are geopolitical victims

MUMBAI, June 15 (Reuters Breakingviews) - China’s “World Bank” tried in vain to carefully thread the geopolitical needle. Fairly or not, critics have lambasted China’s lending practices along the BRI as “debt trap diplomacy”. Whereas the smaller AIIB did things more the way developed countries wanted, even taking positions at odds with Beijing’s. Pickard alleged on Twitter that AIIB was an instrument of China, dominated by Communist party members who “operate like a secret police”. The AIIB said the comments by Pickard, who had served in his role since March 2022, were “baseless and disappointing”.

The allegations were made by Bob Pickard, a Canadian citizen who resigned as global head of communications for the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB) earlier this week. But the United Kingdom was first to break ranks, announcing in 2015 that it would apply for membership. Despite initially being seen as a rival to the World Bank, the two institutions have since partnered together, providing joint financing for dozens of projects. In March, AIIB President Jin Liqun met with new World Bank President Ajay Banga in Beijing to discuss deepening ties. Overall, the organization has disclosed $100 billion in capital, with sizable commitments from the United Kingdom, France and Germany and others.

BOAO, China, March 31 (Reuters) - The Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB) will stick to its mandate as an apolitical multilateral lender and won't get dragged into political disputes, even as multilateralism is severely tested, its president, Jin Liqun, said on Friday. "But on the other hand, we need to protect the bank in terms of its credit worthiness," he added. As of November, the AIIB had financed 194 projects totalling $37 billion, up from $29 billion in October 2021, according to S&P Global Ratings. "We now have projects in Rwanda, Ecuador, we have projects in central and eastern European countries," he said.

Can the U.S. See the Truth About China?

Photo illustration by Bráulio Amado Talk Can the U.S. See the Truth About China? To see China solely as trying to displace the United States is only going to stoke more fears. The Chinese people believe that a substantially weakened Russia might not be in the interest of China, because if there were the sense that the United States needed to seek out an opponent, China would be next. And then also, the United States thinks that China wants to displace it. The industrial espionage stems from a lack of appreciation from the start of intellectual property, and the United States, by pushing China to do more intellectual-property protection, is actually good for China.
“All of the members are committed to net zero, particularly many developing countries who certainly have a lot of issues to deal with. But all of them are committed,” Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB) President Jin Liqun told CNN’s Becky Anderson in an interview Tuesday at UN climate summit COP27. China is the world’s largest carbon emitter of fossil fuels, but has committed to net zero goals by 2060. He did not mention China’s coal sector, which produces much of the country’s methane emissions, in addition to carbon dioxide emissions. China produces the most methane emissions from coal mines in the world, according to the US Environmental Protection Agency.
