SYDNEY, April 15 (Xinhua) -- A leading Australian expert on Chinese affairs said Japan and the United States were now on the outer after declining to join the China-proposed Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB) as founding members.
Founding membership will be finalized on Wednesday, but both nations have decided not to take part in the historic establishment of the Chinese-led bank which now has 50 prospective founding members, including economic powerhouses Germany, South Korea nike air vapormax plus pas cher , Britain and France.
Instead of being part of the foundation stage, when the AIIB's ultimate structure and regulations will be established and where they could have been involved, Professor James Laurenceson of the University of Technology Sydney said the United States and Japan had lost their chance.
"The ball is now in the U.S. and Japan's court," Laurenceson, deputy director of the Australia China Relations Institute nike air vapormax flyknit pas cher , told Xinhua. "The rest of the world has been pretty clear they're keen to draw China into the international fold. It's really just the U. S. and Japan that are sitting on the outside."
"Personally I think it would have been good for the U.S. and Japan to have joined. All their concerns would be far better managed if they were actually founding members of this bank," he added.
The major European nations and Australia resisted strong pressure from Washington by signing onto the AIIB.
"The big story of the last month or two is the broad support that the AIIB has attracted -- that's really what has changed," Laurenceson said.
