As president of the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB), Jin Liqun is at the helm of an institution whose creation alone has shaken up the multilateral world order.
Set up by China in 2015, the AIIB marked one of the country’s biggest incursions in financial diplomacy among a US-dominated World Bank, a Europe-dominated International Monetary Fund and a Japan-dominated Asian Development Bank. Mr Jin measures his words carefully, perhaps aware that all eyes are fixed on this youthful institution’s next move.
