Given, I have empathy for him, but I find it hard to discuss with @NiceGuy . If you try to explain something, all he will do is call you an 'Ah Q'. And use the popcorn emoticon.
I wish he will notice my sincerity. No matter what disputes we may have, I realize, we are destined to sit next to each other and remain geographical and cultural neighbours. (I know it means nothing, but, frankly, not even one Vietnamese member is on my ignore list. I value their opinion). Hence, no matter how much the interests of my own land (Greater China) means to me, I cannot wish harm to our historical neighbours.
I have serious doubts of this trade pact and what is the most creepy is the secrecy. Where is democracy and accountability? I am afraid of the possibility that the TPP will be passed through a civil (democratic) coup in many parliaments/congresses, with little knowledge of the general public. Just like how Japan-US security treaty first passed through the Diet while millions were out on the street protesting against.
Again, this is just the personal opinion and not even hypothetically I would like to tell others what they should do. LOL. Their country, their call.
@NiceGuy , do you know what specific items is your government negotiating with the US government? Do your government inform you about the laws and regulations? How informed are you? Does your government share anything with you? Any details of the proposed agreement? I am not talking about the stage where the laws is brought to the national assembly. How much do you know now?
i can only expect this.....
LOL. Interesting emoticon to counter popcorn guy.
