"There is such a thing as balance."Well,I thohugt that's what the TPP is all about.Balancing China."Japan's own history has much to teach us about what happens when a country feels comprehensively excluded from a global order."That seemingly not happening to anyone these days,No?These days,the only nation that gets excluded from global order is the one that walk out by itself.Greece was about to do so economically and that's what Israelis are doing right now.North Koreans are being begged by the State Department to come back to the six party talks in return of oil.Things changed since State Department send ultimatum with the threat of oil embargo to the Japanese Empire in the 30's."What New Zealand and Australia are sceptical about is whether the TPP is about trade at all and not a transparent attempt to provoke the PRC."The moment the U.S (and Japan)walked into TPP while China do not,TPP will be an economic caucus within APEC that would not match the Chinese trade interest.If the Australians and New Zealanders are truely concerned about this situation,then why even made TPP in the first place?Why didn't they just simply sign FTAs with other countries?Besides,if any member country think that way,why would they even promote Japan(or the U.S) to join TPP?TPP would be harmeless(and powerless)scheme had the member being restricted to original countries,like Burunei and Singapore.Yet they chose not to."This would be detrimental to those countries interests as it would be to Japan"At least from Japanese perspective,we would like to have a caucus that can divert Chinese pressure that could have been targeted directly to our capital,and that is exactly the reason why TPP can be attractive some nations in Asia- Pacific.
