| Summary: | The CPTPP is far from faltering after US withdrawal, several more countries have since applied to join, including China, Taiwan and the United Kingdom, in what some observers see as a contest between China and the USA to control or re-write the rules of international trade. This volume considers the three applications, the likely responses of existing members, the implications for cross-Strait tension between China and Taiwan, and the ability of the USA to influence the outcome.
