Plan
====The United States federal government should substantially increase its diplomatic and economic engagement with the People’s Republic of China over the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank with the purpose of joining the bank.====

1ac China Rise Adv
====China’s rise is inevitable --- U.S. failure to __seek membership__ in the AIIB sends the signal that it doesn’t want to integrate China into global economic governance and crushes America’s ability to shape the global order==== Wyne, 15 --- contributing analyst at Wikistrat, and a global fellow with the Project for the Study of the 21st Century (4/7/15, Ali, “The American World Order and China’s New Bank,” [], article downloaded on 5/3/16, JMP) The United States has sensibly declared its intention to rebalance towards //the Asia-Pacific// AND //writ large// —than, respectively, excluding China and shunning its efforts.
