US RULES

This is out of the mouth of Barack:
"TPP allows America – and not countries like China – to write the rules of the road in the 21st century", statement by US President Barack Obama said as the US, Japan and another ten countries signed the agreement in Auckland, New Zealand on Thursday

This was the reply by China's representative:
"We never believe that China alone determines the formulation of the agenda and rules of global trade of the 21st century, neither do we believe it's possible for any other country alone to do so," Lu said.

"We have always been advocating and maintaining the World Trade Organization's leading role in formulating global trade rules. We hope major trade countries and major economies can commit themselves to maintaining the WTO's status in this regard," he said.

He urged relevant countries and governments "not to politicize economic and trade issues", and avoid leading people to the conclusion that the United States has been promoting the TPP "out of certain political consideration".
