Taiwan Formally Applies To Join The Comprehensive And Progressive Agreement For Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP) Just Days After China Applied

 

ABC News Australia: Taiwan want to join the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership but China isn't keen

The remarks come as Taiwan formally applied to join on Wednesday, less than a week after China, the world's second-largest economy.
