China might be the last nation few nation to industrialize. TPPA and TTIP is US way to secure overseas market before the next technological revolution. Higher technological entry to the market would make small player pawns. So far the trend right now is where the few will monopolize wealth, with technology driving the ever wealth inequality from technological unemployment.
LOL The problem with this type of circular argument with Vietcong or VC mentality stricken Viet in here (which denote an attitude and a state of mind observed during NAM i.e. exaggeration, habitual lying as well as their coolie mentality)is that you are wasting your TIME and getting NOWHERE, as one senior poster Tai Shang timely advised me.
1. TPPA was an original idea hijacked from EAEC modified to give USA corporations more BARGAINING power than the rest of the member states.
2. The reasons why FOLKS esp. the mostly uneducated nationalistic Khmer Krom Vietnam thinks they are getting a good deal is because they are BRAINWASHED into acceptance e.g. have any Vietnamese seen the agreement or the fine print to be precise 1000 pages.
3. In a democracy like Philippines, the present ruling government knew it will be suicidal to proceed and present such a secret package from the ordinary folks. The opposition will exploit and slaughtered them in the process in the coming election.
4. VIETNAM being a RED COMMUNIST STATE whose authoritarian grip on the population is described as between three quarter way from North Korea and PRC has NO such burden.
5. From the little information we gather , OBAMA’s USA adopted a NEW STRATEGY in order to FAST TRACK TPPA the bill to the extent of even betraying the American voters and consumers e.g. it only required 51% approval from lawmakers to pass the bill but it will required 2/3 the number to reject it once it is passed.
6. In Malaysia, although the ruling junta has signed the pact despite public objections. NOBODY outside of the chosen few knew anything about the deal. Furthermore it will NOT PRESENT it in Parliament until the eleven hours citing NO TIME for debate during the current session (What? NO TIME to debate an important bill that involved ordinary folks like the TPPA?) and will only be present in January 2016 where it happened to be the deadline for Malaysia to accept the deal. Meanwhile everything about TPPA is hidden and secret. Anyone discussing it or in possession of a copy is against the law using the Official Secret Act. That is TPPA – MALAYSIAN PROSPECTIVE.
7. From the little information, we gathered, the TPPA is NOT an equivalent deal between each states e.g. while USA can has total ACCESS to New Zealand farm, it has NO FREE ACCESS to Canadian farm under their agreement, Japan farm subsidies is trade off with Japanese Automobile being subjected to the same USA tax for the next 30 years meaning NO CHANGE.
8. As for the SMALLER PARTNERS like Vietnam or Malaysia, since they have NOTHING TO OFFER in return except for US1 dollar sweatshops, they will be eventually squeezed like a ball. The WONDERFUL THING for these low IQ individuals, they are so brainwashed they never stop to even ponder for a minute. In this respect, the FILIPINO and INDONESIA are certainly SMARTER than them. I guess the RED Vietnamese have NO CHOICE as it is NOT FOR THEM to decide.
9. But in the meantime, we know USA corporation esp. pharmaceutical firms can now cracked down on generic drugs because their expired patent right has just been extended from 12 years to 30 or 36 years. We can ask 1000X but we can expects NO ANSWER until it happens.
Next some interesting facts:
1. Every year China adds 4 Vietnam to its ECONOMY.
2. Vietnam’s annual GDP is only a fraction of “The Pearl River Delta Economics Zone” and so for some misinformed journalists from SCMP to assume just because due to competition which is a fact, some factories are closing down there, it does not represent a future trend. So IMO the article is SHALLOW and ILLOGICAL e.g. it pointed out that Wintek closed down. The truth is Wintek closed down because it lost its biggest customer “iPhone deal” to other competitors also based in China e.g. Pagatron, Lens, etc. There are over 1000 touch screen makers alone in China alone because they existed because of China’s huge domestic market. If they are relocated to Vietnam, who are they going to sell to if China refuse to buy them like Vietnam furniture after the riot? How come they could not export it to the other nation. Think LOGISTICALLY.
3. As Tai Shang sarcastically remarked about VW moving to Vietnam and India much to the delight of some ill-informed VC who also thought that the VW is to rename their brand VW as VcW meaning VIETCONG WAGON. VW annual sales in China in 2014 is 3.67 million cars against its global sales of 10.2 million from the other 99 worldwide factories. I think VW have 20 factories in China alone which still could not meet its demand.
