As Chile's trade expands with Asia, capitalism wants to control all that. We have something called the Trans-Pacific Partnership:
So although Chile is named by USA as a participant in the discussions, Chile says expressly "no we are not!"
If anyone is actually interested in seeing world trade by Americans expand at the small business level, then the mantra of the Feds should be "we'll get small and get out..." Demilitarize the cities, cut back the rent-seeking rules and regs, get rid of IPR, and let the cities protect property rights, and the rebellion fomented by the Feds will begin to lessen.
In the meantime, our "friends" are steering clear of us, seeing how "our friends" in the middle east are doing. Bring our troops home and demilitarize. Whoever wins over there will be glad to sell us whatever we want.

TPP will provide new market access for Made-in-America goods and services, strong and enforceable labor standards and environmental commitments, groundbreaking new rules on state-owned enterprises, a robust and balanced intellectual property rights framework, and a thriving digital economy. It will also include commitments that will improve the transparency and consistency of the regulatory environment to make it easier for small- and medium-sized businesses to operate across the region. By opening these new markets to American products, TPP will help ensure that we are not left behind by our competitors in a vital region of the world.Exciting! And how does this fit in with the overall USA policy of "Get Big or Get Out"?
The Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) is an ambitious, 21st century trade agreement that the United States is negotiating with 11 other countries throughout the Asia-Pacific region (Australia, Brunei Darussalam, Canada, Chile, Japan, Malaysia, Mexico, New Zealand, Peru, Singapore, and Vietnam). When complete, TPP will unlock opportunities for American workers, families, businesses, farmers, and ranchers by providing increased access to some of the fastest growing markets in the world.Well there are pretty close to zero bars to trade with any of those countries to any of the named small business categories. Nothing will be unlocked if it has never been locked up anyway. This sounds like promising to help small business while drive the agenda of big business, get big or get out.
So although Chile is named by USA as a participant in the discussions, Chile says expressly "no we are not!"
The US is pushing to reach agreement on the Trans-Pacific Partnership. But Chile already has separate agreements with countries that are also part of the TPP discussions. For this reason, Chile cannot see additional advantages in participating in the TPP right now unless new provisions are introduced. I think China may share the same position. The deal should not just benefit developed countries; and the TPP, at the moment, is more focused on developed economies.Yes, just like NAFTA and all of the other "free trade" "agreements."
