BANGKOK - Although India pulled out at the last minute, China and 14 other countries agreed in Bangkok this week on plans for what could become the world’s biggest trade agreement - the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership .

Its backers say that just as importantly it will let companies export the same product anywhere within the bloc without having to meet separate requirements and fill out separate paperwork for each country. Tariffs are agreed between countries rather than across the board. For some countries, sensitive issues such as agriculture won’t be touched. It lacks provisions for liberalising state enterprises or protecting workers and the environment.Even once signed, implementation would take months to start and years to complete. The complexity makes precise calculations hard, economists say.

India’s biggest concern is a wave of cheap goods from China and elsewhere. For other countries, losing India means they won’t access a market that is notoriously hard to get into, but also they won’t be able to include India as easily in supply chains.

India behaving like U.S! In a globalized world being a loner is bad. We are all brothers & sisters. That is what Gandhi would say if alive now. Let us not forget Gandhi a Gujerati united disparate Indians under one India against British empire.

Thank you.
