The agreement is a great achievement by politicians<Trans-Pacific Partnership pact the 9 countries -- Australia, Brunei, Chile, Malaysia, New Zealand, Peru, Singapore, the United States and Vietnam -- aim to seal the final agreement "in the coming year." > <am unsure what it is meant for and cannot fathom what it hopes to accomplish > They are going to let their citizens buy and sell things to people in other countries. It's a novel idea and not for the faint-hearted. They have not yet achieved it. They are just promising at this stage. Rome wasn't built in a day and it takes a politician a long time to decide whether two other people are allowed to buy and sell from each other. Personally, I could do the job tomorrow morning and I'd be happy to do it without pay. But for some reason, people don't vote for my weird ideas. They prefer poverty and murder. They are getting those in increasing amounts here in NZ. I suspect the agreement also has something to do with the fact that China has been on a free trade promotional tour in the Pacific Ocean area for years and the USA is looking somewhat reactionary. "With friends like the USA, who needs enemies" was becoming a common thought. Cutting off steel imports and otherwise denying trade opportunities which China was happy to accept. Mqurice
