文章 Ko Chi Kit »

早前,美國總統特朗普代表美國退出跨太平洋夥伴關係協定(The Trans-Pacific Partnership,即TPP)。之後其他成員局一同簽署跨太平洋夥伴全面進步協定(Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership,即CPTPP)。在經濟全球化下,東盟十國也有制定協定一同於國際貿易上合作,連結中國、韓國、印度等,制定了區域全面經濟夥伴協定,(Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership,即RCEP)。後來印度自動退出。

至於香港,現時不在RCEP之中。但於「一國兩制」下,加上於貿易、投資、金融等有成熟的體系,又如何可以把握機會與RCEP的成員國一同發展?

Joining CPTPP at top of Taiwan’s strategic agenda for 2022 [2021-11-21] https://www.taiwannews.com.tw/en/news/4352103
Taiwan lobbying hard to get support from member countries amid Chinese interference

TAIPEI (Taiwan News) — Joining the Comprehensive and Progressive Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP) is of the utmost importance for Taiwan as it works to promote the collective prosperity of the Indo-Pacific, according to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA).

MOFA stated in a budget paper for 2022 that Taiwan will push for inclusion in the trade bloc among other global cooperation mechanisms. A successful bid would serve to drive long-term economic growth for the country while fostering peace and stability in the region, it said.

Taiwan and China have both launched bids for membership in the CPTPP, which currently has 11 signatories. The goal appears difficult to attain, as China has opposed the notion of Taiwan participating despite China itself not being a member.

Taiwan continues to lobby for backing among members of the group, with countries like Japan and New Zealand having already expressed their support. Hundreds of Japanese lawmakers have thrown their weight behind Taiwan’s entry, and Japanese economist Ito Shingo believes the CPTPP can play a role in easing regional tensions, per CNA.

Nevertheless, political hurdles lie ahead for Taiwan because China is the largest or second-largest trading partner of many of the signatories, according to Ito. Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) founder Morris Chang (張忠謀) said following the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) virtual summit that the country is well-positioned, though it has encountered “obstacles.”

Admission of an additional member to the free trade zone must be agreed upon by all the signatories.

Failure to enter could strike a 0.56% blow to Taiwan's GDP, according to an assessment by the National Development Council. Petrochemicals, metals, and plastics are among the industries likely to take a hit from trade barriers.
