China and Russia to Push for an East Asian Free Trade Zone
FT piece notes:
“On Mr Obama’s last
official trip overseas, the real star at this year’s Lima summit was Chinese
president Xi Jinping, who courted other APEC members with a rival to the TPP.
Mr Xi offered Beijing as an alternative to what many US allies fear will be a
more bellicose America under Mr Trump.
“China will not
shut the door to the outside world but will open it even wider,” Mr Xi told
business leaders on Saturday.”
