Description:
- The Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP), a trade agreement largely led by the United States, was finalized on Oct. 5, and is expected to fuel the competition between China and the US for economic ground in East Asia. That’s because the TPP is essentially the rival to the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB), an initiative for an international financial institution initiated by China.

Description:
- By now, you’ve probably heard that the recently concluded Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP), which Australia is a party to, will proceed without China, the world’s leading trading nation. It’s a glaring omission, argue many analysts. Even with China’s slowing economy, concluding a trans-Pacific free trade agreement without it makes little economic sense.

Description:
- After more than two weeks of considering various public reports, citing mostly anonymous U.S. official sources and, notably, the skipper of the Lassen itself, experts have determined that the first U.S. freedom of navigation operation near Subi Reef was not an assertion of high seas freedom by the United States. Rather, the USS Lassen transited within 12 nautical miles of Subi Reef in compliance with the innocent passage provisions outlined in Part II, Article 19 of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS)

- After months of internal debate within the Obama administration, the guided missile destroyer USS Lassen transited within 12 nautical miles of Subi Reef, one of China’s artificially-built features in the South China Sea, on October 27 in what is termed a “freedom of navigation” (FON) operation. It was accompanied by two maritime surveillance aircraft, a P-8A Poseidon and a P-3 Orion.
