WASHINGTON, DC – China’s success in establishing the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank has been widely regarded as a diplomatic fiasco for the United States. After discouraging all US allies from joining the AIIB, President Barack Obama’s administration watched as Great Britain led a raft of Western European countries, followed by Australia and South Korea, into doing just that.
华盛顿—中国成功地成立了亚洲基础设施投资银行，这被广泛认为是美国的一次外交惨败。美国总统奥巴马政府试图劝说所有美国盟友不要加入亚投行，但西欧国家在英国的领导下集体倒戈，澳大利亚和韩国随后也加入了亚投行。
