Subject: Why is America's, Japan's, Australia's and South Korea's largest trading partner China excluded from TPP?

Why is America�s, Japan�s, Australia�s and South Korea�s largest trading partner China excluded from TPP?

Re: Time to rally behind the TPP, by Michael Den Tandt, March 30.

China is not only the world�s most populous country and the second largest economy, it is also the largest trading partner of the United States, Japan, Australia, New Zealand and South Korea and all Southeast Asian countries. It is also the second largest trading partner of Canada. All these countries� exports to and imports from China are far bigger than their combined trade with each others. The United States runs a trade deficit of $430 billion with China.  Canada runs a trade deficit of $50 billion vis a vis China. So why is it excluded from the Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP), touted as the biggest trading arrangement in the region?

The answer is: It is about countering China�s growing military clout and not about trade. Michael Den Dandt mentions this when he says: �But one need only to glance at a map of the Western Pacific to see the problem: Western-allied democracies Japan, Australia and New Zealand, as well as the more-or-less non-aligned Southeast Asian countries, live in China�s immediate shadow�� But it makes little sense to create a free-trade area excluding their biggest trading partner, China.  If it is military alliance aimed at countering China�s military clout, it will hamper trade by increasing the tension between these nations and their largest trading partner.

Michael Den Tandt fails to realize that the Western-allied democracies in the Asia-Pacific region cannot afford to enter into a confrontation with their biggest trading partner China. It will hurt them economically. Only by bringing in China, the TPP can promote trade and prosperity in the region. A trading bloc without the largest trading nation in the Pacific will be like the European Union without its largest trading partner, Germany. Canada should urge to include China in the TPP before rallying behind.
