Failure to ratify the TPP in all 12 countries would be a major disappointment, not just because of the tremendous amount of effort that has gone into it, but also – and more important – because of the vast economic benefits it would bring to all countries involved. In Japan, as long as most of the ruling Liberal Democratic Party stands firm in supporting the TPP, it should be ratified.
TPP不能在所有12个国家获得批准将令人无比失望，不仅仅因为此前花费了大量谈判努力，也因为——更重要地——它能给所有相关国家带来巨大的经济收益。在日本，只要执政的自民党中大部分人坚定支持TPP，TPP应该就能获得批准。但美国国会的状况并不那么确定。我们希望美国领导人不要错失这次让美国企业——因此美国经济也是如此——获得重大提振的黄金机会。
