Controversy Surrounding China's AIIB and Communist Party Control
China's embassy in Ottawa has dismissed claims made by Bob Pickard, the former global communications head of the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB), that the bank has a "toxic culture" and is dominated by Chinese party members. The embassy called Pickard's claims "outright lies" and accused him of trying to damage the bank's reputation. Pickard's resignation has sparked an investigation in Canada.
