Former Taiwanese VP Calls On U.S. To Endorse Island's Entry Into TPP

摘要

Former Taiwanese Vice President Vincent Siew this week made a strong case for Taiwan's participation in the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP), citing the island as a potential springboard into the mainland Chinese market and arguing that Taiwan has the political will to meet the high standards of the agreement. "U.S. support for Taiwan's participation in TPP is the first, much-needed step in rejuvenating the U.S.-Taiwan partnership," he said during a Nov. 20 speech at the Brookings Institution. "It is time for Washington to act."
