Canada becomes the first North American country to join the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB), a Chinese-led institution competing with the World Bank. The bank, capitalized at $100 billion, funds energy and transportation projects along the "One Belt One Road" route. The hosts suggest that China is aggressively expanding its global footprint while the US media remains focused on Russia.

Christine Lagarde, head of the International Monetary Fund (IMF), introduces the term "the new mediocre" to describe the current state of global economic growth. The hosts discuss the rise of the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB) as a Chinese-led competitor to the IMF. They argue that Lagarde's description of "scars from the financial crisis" is a euphemism for a long-term economic depression.

### Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank, China Economic Risks

- **Episode:** [708: Power & Gossip](https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/708-power-gossip.md)
- **Published:** 2015-03-29
- **Time:** 2:40:13–2:46:02
- **Transcript:** https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/708-power-gossip/chapter/asian-infrastructure-investment-bank-china-economic-risks.md

The rise of the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB) is framed as China's move toward establishing the renminbi as a global reserve currency. This development follows the U.S. failure to ratify IMF reforms. However, reports of defaulting trust companies and manipulated economic data suggest significant underlying risks in the Chinese financial system.
