9 Ways the TPP Is Bad for Developing Countries

Its about medicine patents. Copy medicine is perhaps easy. TPP requires Vietnam to close VNmese factories who do patent violation.

our medicine factories is not depended on US patents, let Canada an Japan discus about that. we hva also permission from other countries, like from Europa. We have been signed already FTA with Eurozon soon.

Problem for Vietnam is that, my mom is liked foreigner made medicine, she didn't care that the local made medicine's quality is the same with imported products.
 
True, haha, i think this table sum it up all, most young people around the world view US favourable, China is the widest, i guess most young people are ignorant of history, it is the old that hold the hatred, and many PDF vietnamese are young generation, so u should expected that. Soft power at work:lol:.

some country wanna be part of Roman empire for roads and protection by the legions, but they forget that only Roman citizens, comprising 10% of the population, benefit.
 
@somsak

True, the IP law will make it more expensive for patient, but it also depend on government subsidies program to provide medicine to its citizen. So obviously, tax payer are hit the hardest, recent survey suggest that 32% patient in vietnam will suffer because of the law. However, it would help to encourage local pharmacies to spent more and efficient in medicine research and development, because it allows them to have more opportunities and time to cover the investment capital. So it goes both way, it depend on your country firm aim really.
 
China rise was due to Western ideology. Giving up on Mao based Marxism–Leninism values and accepting a Neo Liberal approach. Before the Great Leap Forward, the country relied heavily on the Soviet Union for political, economic and military aid. After the failures of the Cultural Revolution, Mr. Deng Xiaoping beg the US to lift the trade embargo for investment in the 1980's. Germany, Japan and Korea on the other hand industralized much earlier because they had major aid from the US after WW II and went through democratic and economic reform.

We have to look at TPP through a cost benefit analysis. In the short term it will boost Trade and FDI. In the long term it will threaten domestic industries which will be unable to compete due to restricted rules that favour foreign companies which will lead to less marketshare, job loss and slower economic growth.

I think of TPP as a "Get Rich Quick Scheme" somewhat of a pyramid scheme. Everyone joining because the US says so, therefore it must be good but in truth theres little or no value other than sacrificing local industry for the sake of making a few bucks. Those who have sign the TPP agreement have now accepted US hegemony. The hidden motive for TPP is for the US to gain economic and geopolitical power to subdue threats like China.

I only post articles regarding TPP to remind and piss off Chinese keyboard warriors that US is here to stay in Asia :lol:

Really?I thought TPP is a topic we are using to troll the viets for fun,especially so many like @ComradeNam @NiceGuy @Viet think TPP can magically solve every Vietnam‘s problem:lol:

What will happen when Vietnam gets richer and more dependent on US market?Do you think the US will not demand democracy?You want “hidden motive”?This is it. Containing China is not hidden,they made that very public.
How TPP Will Transform Southeast Asia: A Case Study Analysis


Few have paused to consider what the TPP means for the four Southeast Asian nations in negotiations: Vietnam, Malaysia, Singapore, and Brunei. A range of issues are at stake, from currency manipulation to regulation of state-owned enterprises (SOEs), which have particular relevance for Southeast Asia’s state-centric economies. The TPP could bring about significant financial and social reforms to these countries, opening the playing field to foreign investors while introducing progressive labor standards and environmental protections.

Many of the rising “tigers,” as Asian economic powers like Singapore came to be known following rapid growth in the last half-century, benefited from protectionist policies and high tariffs reducing foreign competition. Vietnam and Malaysia in particular maintain some of the world's highest tariffs and non-tariff barriers (NTBs) against foreign businesses. So why would these economies want to open their doors to change now?

According to a study by Peterson Institute, Vietnam may stand to gain the most under the TPP framework. Jack Sheehan, a partner at DFDL specializing in cross-border legal services,:

In 2012, Vietnam exported almost $7bn (£4.2bn) worth of apparel to the US, which accounted for 34% of US apparel imports. Vietnam also exported $2.4bn worth of footwear…The TPP will allow Vietnam to export apparel to the US at a 0% tariff rate, which will make Vietnamese exports even more competitive.
Phasing out high tariffs will expose domestic industries to increased competition from overseas investors, but ultimately these structural reforms will set Vietnam’s economy on stronger ground and promote innovation in local firms.

LOL forget about Vietnam and worry about yourself.:rofl: Fully embracing neo-liberalism by joining the TPP will transform Japanese economy profoundly,and eventually your political and social structure,even the semi-closed up japanese mindset will be gone for good,you might think that’s better for Japan cost-benefit wise but in my book losing the uniqueness that has been preserved for a thousand years will never justify the cost
 
Made in U.S, Made in Japan with cheaper price vs Made in Vietnam ... then after TPP, Vietnamese will enjoy much more foreign brand goods than local produced goods.

If foreign good quality goods sell cheaper in ur market, it will be a disaster to local manufacturers ... bad for a developing country, that's the reason why the government set tariffs to offset foreign price advantages. Without regional trade protectionism, local companies & manufacturers losing home market, foreign goods will replace them.

Such TPP, a developing country easily become the economy colony for foreign industrialized powerful nations ... coz folk's basic necessities of life will be surrounded by foreign cheaper goods, foreign companies & governments can control ur economic lifeline, and ur local corporations will die coz lack of competitiveness before cheaper good quality foreign goods.


A developing country don't know how to protect their own local manufacturing enterprises before they get stonger, the result is early to be eliminated by foreign competitive goods. :cray:
Our local corporations are dying coz lack of competitiveness to China products now, so, it'd better to die in US's hands than in CN's hands ..

All I know is that TPP will make the medicines price rise to the sky. My mom and dad is paying a lot of money for medicines.
Vietnam entries to TPP is interesting.
Vietnamese prefer French-Indian medicine, and they (French-Indian) are not TPP members :)

... sounds like a sad result, especially for a developing nation. Anyway less local corporations and less jobs, later ur young ppl might meet big trouble ... most earnings from Vietnam market will get into foreign companies whatever is U.S / Japan / S.Korea / China ...

I suggest you to read again your fellow's comment :)
Don't worry. When Vietnamese see a tiny flame rising. They'll tear up the TPP pact. Vietnamese are good at swallowing their words.

Government credit will directly affect international investments in local trades / project loans ... especially when signed the deal with U.S, they controlled the World Bank.
