关于《跨太平洋合作伙伴协议》(TPP)的讨论正在激烈进行,很多人说:我们需要TPP,如果没有它,中国将对该地区强加自己的一套贸易规则,而那些规则将消解美国的贸易价值观。这套“文明的冲突”的说辞,与贸易协定在现实中的运行机制是相悖的。中国正在进行的谈判并不构成对美国的威胁,自由贸易一个好处就在于其对所有参与者均有益。了解了中国贸易协定的具体内容,我们就能更清楚地认识到这一点。 Discussions about the Trans-Pacific Partnership Agreement (TPP) are fierce and many say: We need the TPP, and without it, China will impose its own set of trade rules on the region, and those rules will dissolve the U.S. trade Values. This set of “clashes of civilizations” rhetoric runs counter to the operational mechanism of trade agreements in reality. One of the benefits of free trade, which China’s ongoing negotiations do not pose a threat to the United States, is that it benefits all participants. Knowing the specific content of China’s trade agreement, we can recognize this more clearly.
