Why you use so much insult word, i thought it was banned in the forum.?You made a generalization just based on your personal feel, without any concrete evidence or fact, is that a blank statement? If it is wasting your times, why bother reply back then, got nothing to do? Don't know why this kind of topic come up, you always find the reason to bash either VN or Malay
1) the
East Asia Economic Caucus (
EAEC) or
East Asia Economic Group (
EAEG) was a regional (FTA) proposed in 1990 and encompasses the (ASEAN) member states, China, South Korea and Japan. Japan though refused participation due to the exclusion of the Western nations, which were already members of APEC and many other notable regional organizations in East Asia.TPP is an expansion of the (TPSEP or P4), and in 2008, America got invited under Bush administration, it was aim to open up market and investment oversea back then
2) 3/4 population in VN got cover by Internet, and govt got very little control in media nowadays, there are over thousand of press and blogs on the Internet, civil society aspect and civil media are booming, you can read article by
William Taylor for that issue at asiafoundation org
3) Why give example of Philippine, it mostly rule by rich family that run for election, all they care about is the vote and power, ordinary folk got not much say about it and that was going on for decade
@Cossack25A1, they are not real and liberal democracy . Let's take Canada for example on issue of TPP. In Canada there are large internal divisions when the country's western provinces is very strong support for the participation in TPP agreement will boost exports to oversea. In contrast, the eastern province protested, saying that the agreement will affect the dairy industry and automobiles in Canada. Different group of people in the country got different interest, if you take PH, i'm sure it also got supporter and oppose on the issue. Vietnam also got group of officer that opposed the deal as it may reduce the revenue as imported tax reduced and ease on visa issue, and independent trade union and livestock. But guess who is against TPP the most in VN, it is the SOEs!!!!!
4) Do you got evident for your claim, or it is an false statement? Foreign press are uncensored in VN and as above govt got very little control of media nowadays and in VN it was kind of collective leadership not strongman like say CHina or Russia.
Let's me explain:
Vietnam’s top three leaders (the “troika”) have worked to ensure that their distinct powers are protected in two important ways. First, their constitutional compromise allows that each of them receive one of the top-ranking positions in the VCP. With this arrangement, there is a need to forge consensus positions on policy issues, ultimately eliminating the extreme shifts from left to right. Second, their different constitutional powers allow for patronage politics and scope for cultivation of a loyal following. One had the VCP and state-owned enterprises (SOEs). Other had control of the bureaucracy. And last one had power over the military and its sizable business sector, with nearly 70,000 soldiers (12 percent of the standing army) employed full-time in over 100 military-owned commercial enterprises

5) In U.S.A, if you got the vote from important state then even if you got lower vote, you still hold and got the power, it was the case of Bush back in the days.

6)It was an agreement between countries that no data will release after negotiation is close, it was the case 1st applied by P4 countries. Why blame Malaysia only? TPP should be approved by Parliament Malaysia. Minister of Commerce Malaysia, Mustapa Mohamed said he expected the TPP to the country's parliamentarians in several weeks.Despite the opposition, the coalition of Prime Minister Najib Razak control about 60% of the Malaysian Parliament, should work through TPP expected no difficulties. More likely, Congress will consider TPP Malaysia in 2016. I read the news, Japan govt just got PDF about TPPs but it is in Japanese, mb ask
@Nihonjin1051 out?
7) TPP is multilateral agreements, all participating countries accept the same rules should negotiations not necessarily reciprocal nature that complex, more multi-layered: a country A proposed benefit to B, in return, it requires from country D to E some benefits that last around that make the country B will make concessions. If it is your point then it is no need to take over 5 years of negotiation, AMerica is the master, they command , it will be fast and EZ right?
8) Do you have evident to back up your claim or it is make up again?
9) Patents and copy right is between 3-8 years under pressure from members state to US, and it is depend vastly on their economic status. SOme less developed countries will get span of time before the law implement on them. You made up everything will be 12 years like US?
