UK's Liz Truss opposes China's inclusion in Indo-Pacific trade deal.
TL;DR Summary
Former UK Prime Minister Liz Truss has called on the UK to use its membership of the CPTPP to prevent China from joining the trade deal, despite Beijing's application. Truss argued that the bloc is an important economic bulwark against China and a counterweight to those who seek to undermine Western values. The UK's membership means it will have a vote on whether new applicants should be able to join.
