France and Germany join UK in Asia bank membership

France and Germany are to join the UK in becoming members of a Chinese-led Asian development bank.

The finance ministries of both countries confirmed on Tuesday that they would be applying for membership of the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB).

Last week, the US issued a rare rebuke to the UK over its decision to become a member of the AIIB.

The US considers the AIIB a rival to the Western-dominated World Bank.

The UK was the first Western economy to apply for membership of the bank.

But German finance minister Wolfgang Schaeuble confirmed on Tuesday that his country would also be applying for membership.

France's finance ministry confirmed it would be joining the bank. It is believed Italy also intends to join.

When asked about the US rebuke last week, a spokesman for Prime Minister David Cameron said: "There will be times when we take a different approach."

No matter how Obama tries to meddle, nothing can stop Europe and China from becoming the great friends they want to be \(^0^)/

A toast to our enduring friendship and mutually beneficial cooperation =D>

Meanwhile, the US holds a gun to Canada's head saying, "Don't you even THINK about it!"

China's got the money, America is going broke. Them's the facts...yet America didn't want Ron Paul for president. Ho hum.

Is this a case of leading the rats to the trap with some cheese? The Chinese are masterminds 8-)

Some bloggers are referring to this as a new world order. I don't see how China or USA leading multinational organizations is any different. Meet the new boss, same as the old boss.

Pleasant news in the East. Australia and South Korea have decided to join the AIIB rather than sit on the sidelines at the behest of America.

Welcome to the club, good friends (≧∇≦)

Here are the countries currently committed to the mutually beneficial development of Asia:

I agree the chinese are and have used very cunning strategies but I don't think this is much of shift. It's not as if an alliance is being signed or whatever. It's merely a project funding congregation. One that is supporting tighter relations with India as much as it does with China.
