[TheTruth]

Doing business = killing and stealing? Wow, and I thought Americans were deranged before.

you definitely have high hopes for something that US congress hasn't yet decided if it wants yet.

US senator BERNIE SANDERS:

The TPP would reward authoritarian regimes like Vietnam that systematically violate human rights. The State Department. the U.S. Department of Labor, Human Rights Watch, and Amnesty International have all documented Vietnam’s widespread violations of basic international standards for human rights. Yet, the TPP would reward Vietnam’s bad behavior by giving it duty free access to the U.S. market

China is doing the same things as US and west
Only problem is China is offering better condition, loans without much restriction and offer cheaper quotation.
While West is pretty tough on helping these countries..

I never liked the Philippines anyhow execept for manny paquiao.

Smart decision by the Philippine government. The TPP would never have the best interests of the poor developing nations, after all. It is a tool by the US government to promote its own industries (using its early-starter advantage) at the cost of developing nations' domestic industries.

If the Philippines wants a win-win agreement, it is free and more than welcome to hop on China-led initiatives.

China, PH seen to set aside disputes to improve trade
Amy R. Remo
Philippine Daily Inquirer

MANILA, Philippines–Despite the ongoing territorial disputes, the Philippines and China are initiating new programs and activities this year to further enhance tourism, trade, investments and cooperation between the two countries.

According to the foreign trade office of the Department of Trade and Industry in Beijing, both the Philippines and China are working to “deepen industry cooperation” in a number of sectors that include automotive, electric vehicles, iron and steel, renewable energy including solar energy, and other related manufacturing sectors.

There are also plans to bring the China-Asean Business Council trade and investment delegation to the Philippines; embark on a trade city project for building materials industry cooperation; and to stage an investment conference to promote and highlight the new competitive advantage of manufacturing in the Philippines, following the country’s inclusion under the European Union’s new generalized scheme of preferences (GSP+).

The target would focus on sectors facing export challenges to Europe.

The Philippines is the only Asean country to be included in the GSP+ scheme, which will enable local enterprises to export over 6,200 product lines to the European Union at zero duties.

China is considered a significant trading partner, being the third-largest export market of the Philippines as of end-January this year.

China accounted for about 10.2 percent (equivalent to $445.35 million) of the country’s total exports during the same period, government data showed.
