There are two articles attached, one discussing the US withdrawal from the Tran Pacific Partnership (TPP) trade negotiations and a second discussing the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP). The RCEP was originally the Chinese version of the TPP but now contains many of the countries that were to be TPP participants.
Your job is to evaluate the merits of the US decision to withdraw and the Chinas reaction of embracing the leadership for, in effect, recreating the TPP without the US but with some staunch US allies.
There are both political and economic aspects to the actions of the US and China. Use the discussions in class and the other readings assigned concerning trade as well as your ongoing reading of the news. Your assignment is not meant to present an exhaustive review of what has happened and why it happened. It is to demonstrate knowledge of trade, the resulting politics, and the implications for the futurein 2 pages.
