With thunderclouds looming over the trans-Atlantic economy, it was easy to miss a bright piece of news last weekend from the other crucible part of world trade, the Pacific Rim. In Honolulu, where Barack Obama hosted a summit of Asia-Pacific leaders, Canada, Japan and Mexico expressed interest in joining nine countries(America, Australia, Brunei , Chile, Malaysia, New Zealand, Peru, Singapore and Vietnam)in discussing a free-trade pact. Altogether, the possible members of the Trans-Pacific Partnership(TPP)(环太平洋组织)produce 40% of world GDP—far more than the European Union.
The creation of a wider TPP is still some way off. For it to come into being its architects—Mr Obama, who faces a tough election battle next year, and Japan’s Yoshihiko Noda, who faces politics laced with passionate protectionism—need to show more leadership.
Mr Noda’s announcement on November 11th that Japan was interested in joining the TPP negotiations was an exceedingly bold move. Signing up would mean dramatic changes in Japan, a country which has 800% tariffs on rice, and exports 65 vehicles to America for every one that is sent to Japan. Mr. Noda’s move could also transform the prospects of the TPP, most obviously by uniting two of the world’ s leading three economies but also by stimulating others. Until he expressed an interest, Canada and Mexico had also remained on the sidelines. Unwittingly or not, Mr. Noda has thrust Japan into a central position on a trade treaty in which free movement of everything except labour is on the table.
Huge obstacles loom for Mr. Noda. He came into office in September casting himself as a peacemaker of Japan’ s warring political factions. Many of those groups are opposed to the TPP. Farm co-operatives, argue that it would rob Japan of its rice heritage. Doctors warn of the risks to Japan’s cherished health system. Mr. Noda will have to deal not just with opposition from rival parties but also with a split on the issue inside his Democratic Party of Japan.
It is also a test for Mr. Obama’ s new strategy of coping with China’ s rise by placing American foreign policy more towards Asia. He must stand up to the unions in the car industry which have long complained about the imbalance of trade with Japan. He should energetically promote the potential gains for jobs of his pro-Asia strategy— both at home and abroad. America should also stress that the TPP is meant to engage and incorporate China, rather than constrain it. [br] What’s the influence on TTP if Japan joins it?
选项
A、It will greatly enhance its political influence.
B、It will stimulate other countries to join it.
C、Japanese export will be affected.
D、TTP will be more powerful in military field.
答案
B
解析
细节题。根据题干可以定位到第三段中的Mr Noda’s move could alsotransform the prospects of the TPP.most obviously by uniting two of the world’s threeleading economies but also by stimulating others.从这句话可以看出日本的加入会联合世界上三大经济体中的两个,同时也会刺激其他国家加入。A选项不正确。是经济方面不是政治方面。B选项符合文章意思。因此,正确答案是B。
