A nation must think before it acts.
Trade and Politics in East Asia: China and Taiwan Apply to the CPTPP While the U.S. Stays Out
October 18, 2022 | 10:00 am to 11:00 am | Asia Program
About the Event
China and Taiwan have applied to join the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP)—the scaled-down version of the Trans-Pacific Partnership after the U.S. dropped out under Trump. What is the significance of the CPTPP in a global trading order with a diminished WTO and the new and vast—if less liberal—Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership? What are the prospects for China’s and Taiwan’s bids for membership? What role will Japan—the de facto leader of the CPTPP—play? What impact can the U.S. have? What are the chances the U.S. may (re)join?
