TAIPEI (Reuters) – There is a “risk” to Taiwan’s application to join the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP) if China joins first, Taiwan’s chief trade negotiator John Deng said on Thursday.
China always tries to obstruct Taiwan’s participation internationally, Deng told reporters.
China claims Taiwan as its own territory.
