U.S.-PRC Trade Webs:
TPP vs. China-Japan-Korea FTA-Implications for Taiwan

Featuring

Dr. Chen-Dong Tso

Stimson Center Visiting Fellow, East Asia Program

With the U.S. refocus on the Asia-Pacific region, the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) has taken center stage as a potential region-wide, high-quality trade arrangement. For many, TPP is seen in competition with the "ASEAN+" trade pact in terms of geographic coverage and degree of commitment to liberalization. Efforts are also under way to speed up negotiation of a Free Trade Agreement among the PRC, Japan and South Korea (CJK). With these and numerous other FTAs actively under discussion, President Ma Ying-jeou has made joining TPP within eight years a priority, arguing that failure in this realm will seriously threaten Taiwan's domestic economic growth and international marginalization. Dr. Chen-Dong Tso will examine the TPP-CJK dynamic and its?implications for Taiwan's participation in Free Trade Agreements, drawing not only on economic factors but also on insights into Taiwan's domestic politics.
