Other TPP members ( except VN) are US's vassal state, US has impose whatever they want on those nations for long time already.
VN welcome the TPP and hope it will bring more benefit to us![]()
TPP has good benefits for Vietnam, but also has negative elements. Its the same story for the other countries, that's why no one has agreed to sign TPP, Its necessary to negotiate to try to eliminate those negative elements.
Yes but it makes it difficult for us to engage our own partners because we have to be mindful of what the Americans think. And they do try to influence our rapport with China and Russia.
Do you know that the US invited and recommended that Japan should do active patrols deep inside the SCS? Do you know what this would have done to the Japanese-Chinese relations? Lol.
Luckily our Ministry of Defende politely declined to respond to the US. We will not pursue a policy that will instigate or further destabilize not only Southeast Asian but most importantly our very own East Asian region.
I tell you another thing, the fact that US pushed Japan to impose sanctions on Russia is not a good thing for Japan. Russian Japanese relations were going well and they were going to try to negotiate a solution to those islands plus more trade, Russian gas to Japan, etc. Now all that is frozen and you have Russian bombers intruding into Japanese airspace all the time.
