    CPTPP would be the cornerstone of the UK’s Global Britain strategy, and a much-needed trade deal to preserve Britain’s economic future. It’s a coup too for multilateralism without the US.

    Coupled with Blinken's calls to the Japanese and ROK foreign ministers yesterday calling for greater trilateral cooperation, the new administration makes clear its willingness to lead in East Asian security.

    Very exciting to hear about nomination of Tai as USTR. She not only brings trade expertise to the job, but an ability to problem solve with all sides of the political spectrum. Those skills will be needed as we navigate a post-Trump trade policy

    Never say never. Many would be up for some creative reinterpretation of dinner table conversations between the emperor and his brother and their wives. And Nasu could be the Balmoral of the East.

    Thanks to Aaron Jones and Robert Daly for the chance to discuss why RCEP is a big win for Asia's middle powers as they look increasingly less to the Untied States for guidance on trade rules.

    Xi's public support for TPP is a game-changer for CPTPP. The door has been kept open for a US return, but in the meantime, this could lead China to push for domestic reform and meet entry requirements.

    RCEP should give Biden the political motivation to push for US entry to CPTPP sooner rather than later, even as he pursues the Buy America campaign.

    The fact that a Japan-Australia-India trilateral supply chain initiative is in the works since September, even before RCEP was concluded, speaks volumes. Diversifying away from China and pushing back against Beijing's unfair trade practices will continue to unite the three.

    The RCEP deal has been finalized. India opted not to join. Back in Dec., colleague & I wrote this piece arguing that not joining may bring domestic benefits to India, but it also means Delhi will squander multiple geopolitical opportunities.

    RCEP's successful conclusion is more a political feat than an economic achievement. As a trade deal, it's weaker than CPTPP. But it's yet another demonstration of Asia eager to reshape the economic landscape without the US.

    Thanks to for the opportunity to discuss US-Asia relations post-elections. Whatever the results, investing in domestic growth and resilience will be key for both sides.

    Many thanks to our speakers Sean King and Shihoko Goto for their webinar earlier, 'US Election: the Implications for Asia Policy'. They gave us a great look at what we might be able to expect for Japan and Asia as a result of the upcoming election!

    Having a strong, economically competitive Taiwan is in the United States' interest. This is a step in the right direction.
