AIIB, hq at Beijing.           China’s decision to fund a new multilateral bank rather than give more to existing ones reflects its exasperation with the glacial pace of global economic governance reform.  The same motivation lies behind the New Development Bank established by the BRICS (Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa).  Although China is the biggest economy in Asia, the ADB (Asian Development Bank) is dominated by Japan; Japan’s voting share is more than twice China’s and the bank’s president has always been Japanese.  Reforms to give China a little more say at the International Monetary Fund have been delayed for years, and even if they go through America will still retain far more power.  China is, understandably, impatient for change.  It is therefore taking matters into its own hands.  https://www.economist.com/blogs/economist-explains/2014/11/economist-explains-6
