SURPRISE! LOOK WHO ELSE IS JOINING THE CPTPP

Not yet a member but soon will be : China.

Makes you think why London is becoming the banker of the Renminbi.

Or should do.

What has Brexit unleashed?

I'd say much, much more than you'd have thought 10 years ago.

Why is the UK abandoning Europe to join a tade bloc on the other side of the world which will soon count China as a member?

And are current events linked to this?

I would say yes to the latter.

The UK is leaving a trade bloc with good human rights, good workers rights and good animal welfare standards to join a trade bloc on the other side of the world with members who have questionable human rights, questionable workers rights and questionable animal welfare standards.
