Now with Britain, France, Germany and Italy signing up to join the new bank,
despite direct pleas from Washington to steer clear, the question is
whether the Obama administration mishandled a significant challenge from
China, and what it might have done differently.
“The administration made a major mistake in its opposition. It was a very
shortsighted,” said Paul Haenle, director of the Carnegie-Tsinghua Center
in Beijing. “The bank was going to go ahead whether we supported it or not.”
The United States would have been wiser, he and others said, to temper its
resentment of China’s efforts to raise its international profile and play a
bigger role in global financial affairs. Some argue it may also have sought
to play a role in an Asia-focused bank led by China, just as Washington
expects China to contribute more to the World Bank and the International
Monetary Fund, the Washington-based lending agencies for development and
monetary stability. |
