What Is the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP)?

The Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP) is a free trade agreement (FTA) that will create the world's largest trading bloc and mark a significant achievement for China as it battles the U.S. for influence and economic supremacy in the Asia-Pacific region. The 15 Asia-Pacific nations, representing nearly a third of the world's gross domestic product, signed the agreement on November 15, 2020 via tele-conference.

Understanding RCEP

Backed by China, RCEP was envisaged as a way to bolster trading ties among nations across Asia-Pacific and promote trade and economic growth in the region. Initially, it includes the 10 member countries of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (Asean) and five Asia-Pacific countries with whom Asean has existing FTAs:

-Australia
-China
-Japan
-New Zealand
-South Korea
-India had also planned to join the deal but pulled out in November 2019.
