``China is moving forward with a plan to create its own version of the World Bank, which will rival institutions that are under the sway of the US and the West.

The Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB) will extend China's financial reach and compete not only with the World Bank, but also with the Asian Development Bank, which is heavily dominated by Japan.
