China applies to join Pacific trade pact to boost economic clout

Japan said it would have to determine if China meets the "extremely high standards" of the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP) after the world's second-biggest economy formally applied to join.

Commerce Minister Wang Wentao submitted China's application to join the free trade agreement in a letter to New Zealand's trade minister, Damien O'Connor, the Chinese ministry said in a statement late on Thursday.

The CPTPP was signed by 11 countries including Australia, Canada, Chile, Japan and New Zealand in 2018.

This is not the first time China coerces others using trade.

In 2020, CCP banned Australian exports, including beef, barely and wine, because they called for COVID-19 origins investigation.

These kinds of bullying behaviour must stop!

US accuses China of 'serious harm' to workers through trade

The US Trade Representative accused Beijing of repeatedly failing to live up to trade commitments.
It published its annual review of China's compliance with the deal that gave it membership of the World Trade Organization (WTO) on Wednesday.

China said it is a firm supporter of and important contributor to the WTO.

The US report is the first since President Biden's appointee Katherine Tai took up office as the top US trade negotiator, and it lays out US concerns about China's trade policies.

Exclusive: U.S. calls for 'concrete action' from China on trade deal

U.S. officials called on Monday for "concrete action" from China to make good on its commitment to purchase $200 billion in additional U.S. goods and services in 2020 and 2021 under the "Phase 1" trade deal signed by former President Donald Trump.

The officials said Washington was losing patience with Beijing, which had "not shown real signs" in recent months that it would close the gap in the two-year purchase commitments that expired at the end of 2021.
