America’s design for Asian trade is inspired by the goal of containing China, and the TPP template effectively excludes it, owing to the non-trade-related conditions imposed by US lobbies. The only way that a Chinese merger with the TPP could gain credibility would be to make all non-trade-related provisions optional.
美国对亚洲贸易的设计就是源自于遏制中国的目标，而跨太平洋伙伴关系协议的条款实际上也将中国排除在外。而唯一能使中国融入协议使之具备获得公信力的方法就是将所有与贸易无关的条款列为可选项。当然，美国的国会游说者们可不想令这种状况发生。
