What is so interesting about this agreement is how several of the key nations around the Pacific are so far excluded: China/Hong Kong, Russia, and Japan.
And what is equally interesting are the composition of partners: Australia, Brunei Darussalam, Chile, Malaysia, New Zealand, Peru, Singapore, Vietnam, and the United States
All nations notable for their lack of free trade (not).
