FAM Freeland is correct - TPP cannot happen without the U.S. That's because TPP was constructed based on U.S. agenda and ideology. I am happy TPP is gone, by the action of its own people when they elected Trump. 

The time has finally come for the U.S. to disengage militarily in Asia, Withdraw all forces to Hawaii. Let Japan be sovereign and free again. Let the two Koreas settle their differences without a huge American military in their land. Let China and Taiwan do same. Indeed, one day even the Hawaiian original natives might kick out the American. After all, the U.S. annexed Hawaii by threat of an invasion, right after its navy invaded Spanish Philippines and took it. The U.S. simply took Hawaii as an imperial act, without so much as a referendum. Complain about Crimea with such hypocrisy. 

As to Trump threat of denying China claim of certain little islands in the South China Sea, this will lead to war with China for sure. Let the American war on China begin!
