Apparently the Japanese government is ill-minded. It donimates the ADB but it doesn't invest this $100B through ADB because the bank has other players. It has years to decide to make such a plan but only does this until the AIIB is going to be set up. Just as reported, it's going to use this plan to counter the Chinese initiatives. But this poor decision will only yield poor results because the Japanese government is short-sighted. The Chinese has a couple of plans which make up a strategy to develop the entire Asia and benefit itself as well while the Japanese is trying to battle against the so-called Chinese influence campaign by campaign. It's doomed to fail becaues it really doesn't understand its rival well.
