China
China is hoping to galvanise two regional trade proposals — the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP) and the Free-Trade Agreement of the Asia-Pacific (FTAAP), following the formal exit of the United States from the Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP).
Australia and New Zealand say they are hopeful of pressing ahead with the Trans-Pacific Partnership trade deal, despite America's formal withdrawal.
Chile has invited ministers from other TPP members as well as China and South Korea to a summit in March to discuss how to proceed
Chinese Commerce Minister Gao Hucheng said China wants to work together with the Philippines to conclude the regional RCEP trade talks
Chinese President vowed to upgrade sections of the FTA and encourage further innovation, as well as expand the scale of cooperation in the finance and insurance fields.
With the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership agreement, China has an opportunity to be an agenda-setter and demonstrate leadership on global trade.
The 11th round of negotiations for a trilateral free trade agreement between China, Japan, and South Korea was held in Beijing on January 11.
The RCEP, which pointedly excludes the U.S., would allow China much more influence to set regional trade rules and norms.
Seeking closer ties with India, China suggested a Free Trade Agreement to comprehensively boost relations between the two Asian giants.
The country could replace the US as the region’s major trading partner if the president-elect follows through with his protectionist policies.
