The British government said on Thursday its agreement to join the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP) would enter into force by Dec. 15 this year after it received the final ratification required.

CPTPP is a free trade agreement sealed in 2018 between 11 countries - Australia, Brunei, Canada, Chile, Japan, Malaysia, Mexico, New Zealand, Peru, Singapore and Vietnam. Britain is the only European member of CPTPP and the first new country to join since its inception.


This is an updated version of the TPP that Trump pulled the US out of just because Obama had wanted the US in it.

What a lost chance to strengthen our ties with those nations.

Good on the UK for being smart about this.

Ofc they will. It's all according to the globalist plan.
What it is, is the latest version of globalist H.W. Bush's NAFTA.
It will give rise to 3rd world countries and fall to 1st world ones.

 

[ESay]

Britain and the Trans-Pacific partnership. I wonder what practical use it will bring for Britain, one of central Pacific nations.

How utterly mean of you. America must be brought to her knees so lesser countries have "equity."

How else will will our dreams of one-world globalism be accomplished?

Now shut up and eat your breakfast of crickets and grasshoppers.

You people are such fucking morons.

Isolationism is what will bring the US down, not the other way around.

It is a big world out there and it is now interconnected unlike ever before and there is no undoing that.

The days of exerting influences via gunboat diplomacy are coming to an end and now trade is how that influence will be measured. And you fucking luddites want to go back to the 1800s and pretend the rest of the world does not even exist.

What they get out of it expanded trade opportunities with a group of like minded countries trying to lessen the influence of China

It was more about containing China from America's point of view rather than strengthening ties. Too, Obama had leveraged US influence to get substantial commercial advantage so I think it a blessing Trump pulled the US out, as it's about trade for the rest of the members.

Wrong as usual. We want trade balance, not the massive deficit we've been running.

Apparently "Made in USA" is something foreign to you.

I would bet that Britain has a fewer share than China does in a trade balance of any of the countries in the bloc. And it can offer nothing to them.

Puppet states will do as their masters wish.

Individually none of them offer the other anything, it is the joining together that gives them the power.

We will see more and more of this, what they call the "middle powers" joining together to stand against the super powers.

I see this as a positive.

Yes, regional blocs will play a major role in international policy and trade in the coming decades. And Britain is nothing more than an alien body in the Pacific partnership. I see its membership there as a try to follow a ridiculous Global Britain policy, anachronism of an ending era.

You are free to see it however you like.

Yeah, thanks.

No. It's an attempt to assuage the damage they did themselves with Brexit. Won't be nearly enough, of course, but better than nothing.

This attempt is ridiculous.

do tell us all about your experience in international trade.

 

[ESay]

You can consider it to be quite enough to discuss such things on this board.

Yet none of it every shines through, odd.

Not everyone is able to see the light.
