Given the legacy of problematic loans and projects funded by Western-led infrastructure banks, it is reasonable to ask whether another one is needed, as opposed to reforming existing institutions. Still, if the AIIB views itself mainly as a knowledge bank, rather than a funding vehicle, it could provide real added value.
西方领导的基础设施银行留下了大量有问题的贷款和工程，质疑改革现有机构、认为需要新的基础设施银行是合理的。但是，如果亚投行将自身主要视为知识银行而不是融资机构，可以提供真正的附加值。我们需要通过亚投行如何选择和推进工程，而不是仅仅通过它提供了多少融资，来评估亚投行。
