摘要

The Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP) agreement was signed on November 15, an exciting outcome after eight years of formal negotiations in 31 rounds between China, 10 ASEAN countries, the Republic of Korea, Japan, Australia, and New Zealand. This marks the official launch of a free trade bloc of the largest population, the largest trading scale and the greatest development potential in the world.
