Trump pulls US out of TPP, raps Japan and China over trade
US President Donald Trump withdrew his country from the Trans-Pacific Partnership Monday, abandoning a US stake in the expansive free trade agreement involving Japan and 10 other nations aimed at countering China’s increasing economic clout
The US and Japan should put their support behind Taiwan's efforts to carry out constitutional reform, which are designed to bring about greater democracy and freedom by attracting the 1.4 billion people of China to seek democratization. Such a move would trigger democratization of the CCP and put pressure in North Korea to seek true democracy. The next step would be… the birth of world peace! Democracies worldwide should recognize Taiwan as a beacon for democracy in Asia lighting the way to peaceful development for China. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development.
