Thanks a lot for your attention.

Questions:
1. Have you heard of this institution “AIIB” before reading this article? If so, please share what you know about AIIB with us.

2. After reading today's article, do you agree or disagree with what the writer mentioned about the benefits of AIIB? Why?

3. During the past few decades, a lot of entrepreneurs from different countries, including Taiwanese companies, have moved their business to China. They choose to work or do business in China. Obviously, it is because they can benefit from China--this big market. If you get a chance to move there for building your own business, will you go or not? Why?

4. As we know, in the past, the Ten Major Construction Projects made Taiwan become the head of Four Asian Tigers, which means efficient transportation can influence one country's economy development. Please try to think about what other benefits you can get from AIIB policies for personal career development.

Dear Taichung Happiers,

A young banker decided to get his first tailor-made suit. As he tried it on, he reached down to put his hands in the pockets but to his surprise found none. He mentioned this to the tailor who asked him, "You're a banker, right?" The young man answered, "Yes, I am."
"Well, whoever heard of a banker put his hand in his own pocket?"

Personal Finance Author David Bach’s admonition urges accessible financial education. “Financial education needs to become a part of our national curriculum and scoring systems so that it’s not just the rich kids that learn about money….. it’s all of us.” And we are so proud of having our host Harris who is calling for our collective growth. Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to join our “New World Order” episode: The Benefits of the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank.

In an address at the United Nations, former Soviet statesman Mikhail Sergeyevich Gorbachev aimed higher: "Further global progress is now possible only through a quest for universal consensus in the movement towards a new world order." With the fierce competition among economic regions, are there any advantages not temporary for a new world order? How can China sustain its “One Belt, One Road” strategy? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WNSp2uMef5U Along the rough road, what are the obstacles during the implementation? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nFd7RtyM66Y

“One Belt, One Road” strategy has a bright brother Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CvhHptlqEJk ; will the “AIIB＋Silk Road Fund＋Chinese Yuan” mode take over “World Bank＋IMF＋U.S. Dollar”? http://knowledge.wharton.upenn.edu/article/chinas-aiib-recasts-regional-development-finance-and-u-s-global-influence/ What is the potential cost of AIIB? Do you agree with German sociologist Ulrich Beck’s statement “The most convincing and enduring foe of the global financial economy ultimately is the global financial economy itself”? Can we translate the global financial economy into a specific and concrete language for humanity?

From “Money” (by Dr John Celes)

Let money be thy servant, not Master;
So, put thy wealth in use for mankind's sake;
Let progress come for fellowmen, faster;
What profits come if genuine, thou may take.
