I have one little thought to add to the end of that. Even if we do get some very small public relations benefit in Asia, I would then question whether it's worth the cost to the U.S. The U.S., and particularly the Obama administration, lobbied hard for none of the other G20 countries to join this bank. By doing this, we antagonize our biggest trading partner and closest ally. Is that worth whatever small benefits we're going to get in Asia?
