Ten countries of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) plus Australia, China, Japan, New Zealand and South Korea have just signed one of the world’s largest regional free trade agreements: Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP). Notably, this agreement is the second in Asia to happen without participation from the United States, signaling a leadership tilt towards Asia and a great step towards multilateral trade integration in the region. An agreement so far-reaching surely comes with geopolitical and economic implications, among others.

This Webinar welcomes experts to dive into RCEP and its implications for Asia, the economy and foreign business in China. Join us Monday, 21st December 2020 4:00pm-5:30pm (GMT+8) online via Zoom.
