Trade Agreements

Trade agreements—whether multilateral ones through the WTO, plurilateral ones such as the CPTPP, or bilateral agreements between two nations—represent the foundational vehicle through which nations remove trade barriers and deepen trade linkages. This category includes a wide array of GTIPA-member reports examining trade agreements their nations have implemented.

For a More Robust Approach Towards China in European Trade and Investment Policy

China’s overall concessions in the CAI have so far fallen short of the EU's expectations. Apparently, Beijing will not move sufficiently on the issue of competitive distortions without more negotiation pressure.

US trade policy under Biden: Will it differ from Trump?

This article looks at how US trade policy might change under a Biden presidency.

Canada has a large Chinese diaspora that, amid closer economic and social interactions with China, has also become the target in recent years of attempts by Beijing to manipulate government policy, society, and academic institutions. Among the many reasons why China has the incentive to use “sharp power” to interfere with Canada are the latter’s membership in the Five Eyes intelligence community and NATO; its longstanding alliance with China’s principal competitor, the United States; and a democratic system and observance of rule of law based largely on Western concepts that have increasingly clashed with the CCP’s revisionist – and now arguably global – aspirations.
