The World Bank loaned China $1.3-billion in the fiscal 2019 year ended June 30, down from about $2.4-billion during fiscal 2017. U.S. lawmakers are also increasingly expressing concerns that U.S. taxpayer funds loaned through the World Bank to China will enable human rights abuses and unfair economic competition with the United States.
