China and South Korea is going to hold talks with the countries that were expected to participate in the Trans-Pacific Trade Partnership (TTP), from which the United States has previously withdrawn.

Currently, South Korea and China are not included the TTP, but they have already advocated integration of trade relations in the Asia-Pacific region during two-day talks, which started in Chile on March 14. More precisely, they discussed reorganization of the TTP without US participation, as well as other trade agreements.
China earlier said that its participation in the talks in Chile is connected with its desire to discuss economic cooperation in the APR. At that, the country specified that it is not about potential joining the TTP, as follows from statement of the Chinese Foreign Ministry. Beijing has never openly expressed a desire to join the negotiations on the TTP, considering the deal too complicated.
Despite this, Beijing wants to strengthen trade relations with the TTP countries, the more so seeing the vacuum that emerged as a result of the US withdrawal. After that, China began to actively position itself as a global leader in free trade. Beijing also spoke in favor of concluding an alternative trade agreement, a kind of opposition to the TTP.
