  • http://hk.apple.nextmedia.com/international/art/20141104/18922888 美國《華爾街日報》昨透露,中國作為本屆APEC東道主,曾想在會上塞「私貨」,借機啟動北京發起的「跨太平洋地區自由貿易區」(FTAAP)談判,但受美國反對而泡湯。美不希望由自己主導的《泛太平洋夥伴協定》(TPP)受到衝擊。
    報道指,中國一直想在APEC框架內討論FTAAP,但美國目前主要精力在TPP。TPP由包括日本在內11個國家參與談判,但不包括中國。TPP協議將致中國每年損失約1,000億美元(約7,755億港元)出口,因協議國貿易增加,會減少與華貿易。中國一直想借建FTAAP,確保續以優惠條件與一些大貿易夥伴國貿易。Also hket 4nov14 a20

  • http://www.scmp.com/news/china/policies-politics/article/1877639/china-keen-promote-its-idea-asia-pacific-trade-pact China will seek to push its own vision of an Asia-Pacific trade pact at a regional summit next week, senior officials said yesterday, just weeks after the release of a rival US-led deal that pointedly excludes the Asian giant. Beijing sought to promote the Free Trade Area of the Asia-Pacific, or FTAAP, at last year’s Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit, which it hosted. At the meeting’s close, participants endorsed efforts to explore the idea, which was seen as a potential rival to the Trans-Pacific Partnership, or TPP, a Washington-led trade coalition that includes the region’s largest economies, except for China.

  •  http://global.chinadaily.com.cn/a/201903/05/WS5c7dca17a3106c65c34ecbf0.html Trade ministers from China and 15 other nations belonging to the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership group have agreed to resolve issues with the aim of reaching a comprehensive agreement by the end of this year. The ministers made the commitment in a brief statement at the end of their ministerial meeting in the resort town of Siem Reap in northwestern Cambodia on Saturday. In the statement, the ministers acknowledged the good progress already made on both market access and text-based negotiations (the guiding principles and objectives) but recognized more work still needed to be done to "advance both aspects of the negotiations". The ministers urged all 16 nations involved to address the "specific sensitivities" while working toward achieving "commercially meaningful and balanced outcomes". Among a number of "sticking points" before a final agreement are tariffs, intellectual property and transfer of information technology. The partnership, known as RCEP, includes all 10 countries of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (Brunei, Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, and Vietnam) and their six trade pact partners: Australia, China, India, Japan, the Republic of Korea and New Zealand.

美國白宮上周五宣布,總統特朗普將於今年十一月再度外訪,先後訪問法國、愛爾蘭、阿根廷及哥倫比亞等國。但特朗普將不會前往亞洲參加東盟峰會、東亞峰會及亞太經濟合作組織(APEC)會議。這是自前總統奧巴馬一三年因政府停擺危機而缺席以來,首次有美國總統不出席APEC會議。http://orientaldaily.on.cc/cnt/china_world/20180902/00180_011.html

- http://orientaldaily.on.cc/cnt/china_world/20170202/00178_020.html中國早前向大洋洲島國巴布亞新畿內亞,提供逾千萬美元的銀行貸款、基礎建設項目援助。據澳洲傳媒報道,澳政府因擔心中國勢力「插足」南太平洋,決定出手資助巴布亞新畿內亞明年主辦亞太經合組織(APEC)峰會,根據估算澳洲至少要花費超過一億一千萬澳元(約六億四千萬港元)的公帑。
亞太經合組織(APEC)峰會周日於巴布亞新畿內亞落幕,數百名軍警周二硬闖首都莫爾茲比港國會破壞,抗議未獲發當日執勤的津貼。包括獄警在內的軍警在國會的梯級示威,抗議未獲發每人一百零四美元(約八百一十港元)的APEC特別津貼。國會入口處的玻璃被打碎,走廊的盆栽亦被破壞,相框散落一地。目擊者指,當時氣氛緊張,十數輛警車及軍車泊在國會外堵塞交通,附近酒店亦被封鎖。http://orientaldaily.on.cc/cnt/china_world/20181121/00180_007.html

taiwan
灣地區領導人蔡英文昨日在記者會透露,台積電創辦人張忠謀擔任今年的亞太經濟合作組織(APEC)領袖代表。對此,兩岸關係專家、台灣中華儒學會理事長孔祥科對香港文匯報表示,除非民進黨當局有更根本性的表態,比如承認「九二共識」或相關能被大陸接受的一個中國內涵表述,否則即使是派出被大陸尊重的張忠謀為代表,在政治上也無法為台灣爭取到所謂的「國際空間」,於兩岸關係改善也於事無補。http://pdf.wenweipo.com/2018/10/04/a16-1004.pdf, 過去國民黨馬英九政府執政時期,堅持「九二共識」,兩岸關係得以大幅改善,APEC也成為兩岸高層溝通、交流的平台。2008年至2012年,時任國家主席的胡錦濤都在APEC期間會見了代表台灣地區出席會議的連戰一行。2013年馬政府改派蕭萬長出使APEC,獲得國家主席習近平接見,會晤半小時。但兩年前島內政黨輪替,民進黨蔡英文政府拒不承認「九二共識」,兩岸聯繫溝通機制停擺,兩岸在APEC的互動也熱轉冷:2016年赴秘魯出席APEC的宋楚瑜聲稱「與習近平聊了10分鐘」,但後來被揭發兩人談話的時間還不到一分鐘;2017年越南APEC,宋楚瑜也只是與習近平私下寒暄了幾秒。正是因為有過去兩年的深刻教訓,宋楚瑜今年才意興闌珊、主動請辭。據說,蔡政府一度屬意前「行政院長」林全,但他並無意願。擔任APEC特使本是一種榮耀,如今卻成為各界都不願啃的「雞肋」,最後還要87歲高齡的張忠謀舟車勞頓,遠赴巴布亞新幾內亞。這樣的困局完全是民進黨政府咎由自取。http://paper.takungpao.com/resfile/PDF/20181004/PDF/a22_screen.pdf
