Nói không với TPP
25 Oct, 2015
Above is a video of Robert Reich, an American political economist and professor who served in the administrations of Presidents Gerald Ford and Jimmy Carter, talking about the deal. He was also Secretary of Labor under President Bill Clinton from 1993 to 1997.
The TPP is not really "secret," but it sure does seem that way, which is why I chose to raise awareness about it here.
Why is it wrapped in secrecy? Because it's not really about trade. The agreement has 29 chapters, and only five of them have to do with trade. The other 24 chapters either put restrictions on domestic governments, limit food safety, diminish environmental standards and personal privacy, or otherwise deal with financial regulation, energy, climate policy, and more. As illustrated in the video above, it's basically an agreement for establishing new and enhanced powers for the multinational corporations that seem to own all of the world's resources. It will affect all the industries we choose to allow to govern our planet and the way that we live.
