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.

中国正积极推进计划，建立一家可与世界银行和亚洲开发银行分庭抗礼的全球金融机构。中国政府担心，世行和亚开行过于受到美国及其盟国的影响。两位知情人士表示，近几周会晤其他国家的官员时，中国政府提出将拟议中的这家银行的注册资本从先前的500亿美元翻倍至1000亿美元。
