Menurut
Pushkov, pegawai tertinggi Rusia dan China mengkritik perjanjian perdagangan
diketuai Amerika Perkongsian Trans-Pasifik (TPP). Xi Jinping mengulas mengenai
kenyataan Barack Obama baru-baru ini pada perdagangan global - di mana beliau
berkata bahawa peraturan perdagangan antarabangsa mesti dikenakan oleh Amerika
Syarikat dan sekutu-sekutunya, dan tidak China - dengan mengatakan bahawa pada
pandangan beliau, kaedah-kaedah itu perlu dipersetujui bersama oleh semua
bangsa di DUNIA, bukan mana-mana satu tertentu.
Ketua
Duma Rusia berkata bahawa TPP telah dibentuk dalam suasana rahsia, dan bahawa
ia boleh dianggap sebagai struktur tertutup kerana tidak Rusia atau China telah
dijemput untuk mengambil bahagian dalam proses. Naryshkin juga melahirkan
kebimbangan mengenai kemungkinan penggantian masa depan WTO oleh TPP dan blok
ekonomi yang sama, mengatakan bahawa Rusia dan China menentang secara bersama
kepada senario sedemikian.
"Kaedah-kaedah
Universal perdagangan antarabangsa perlu dibincangkan dalam tidak ada tempat
selain WTO, dan semua pihak yang berkepentingan perlu mengambil bahagian dalam
perbincangan ini. Rusia dan China akan terus mempertahankan kedudukan ini dalam
pelbagai organisasi antarabangsa, "Naryshkin kepada pemberita selepas
mesyuarat itu.
TPP
ialah serantau perjanjian perdagangan bebas yang dicadangkan yang
ditandatangani pada Februari tahun ini sebanyak 12 negara di rantau Asia
Pasifik, termasuk Amerika Syarikat, Australia, Brunei, Kanada, Chile, Jepun,
Malaysia, Mexico, New Zealand, Peru, Singapura dan Vietnam. Perjanjian itu
masih belum berkuat kuasa kerana ia perlu disahkan oleh semua ahli-bangsa.
Pada
akhir 2014 Presiden Rusia Vladimir Putin berkata bahawa perjanjian Perkongsian
Trans-Pasifik tidak akan berkesan jika ia tidak termasuk pemain serantau utama
seperti Rusia dan China. "Jelas sekali, Perkongsian Trans-Pasifik adalah
hanya satu lagi percubaan Amerika Syarikat untuk membina satu kerangka
kerjasama ekonomi serantau yang Amerika Syarikat akan mendapat manfaat
daripada," kata Presiden Rusia dalam temu bual dengan media massa Cina
berkaitan lawatan rasminya ke Beijing.
"Pada
masa yang sama, saya percaya bahawa ketiadaan dua pemain utama serantau seperti
Rusia dan China dalam komposisinya tidak akan menggalakkan penubuhan
perdagangan berkesan dan kerjasama ekonomi," tambah pemimpin Rusia.
Pada
Disember 2015 Putin dicadangkan untuk membentuk blok ekonomi yang akan
bertindak sebagai alternatif kepada TPP dan meminta kerajaan untuk mula membuat
hubungan dengan negara-negara Asia.
According
to Pushkov, top Russian and Chinese officials were critical of the US-led
Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) trade agreement. Xi Jinping commented on Barack
Obama’s recent remarks on global commerce – in which he said that the rules of
international trade must be imposed by the United States and its allies, and not
China – by saying that in his view, such rules must be agreed jointly by all
the nations of the world, not any particular one.
The
Russian Duma chief said that the TPP was being formed in an atmosphere of
secrecy, and that it could be described as a closed structure because neither
Russia nor China have been invited to participate in the process. Naryshkin
also expressed concern over the possible future replacement of the WTO by the
TPP and similar economic blocs, saying that Russia and China are jointly opposed
to such a scenario.
“Universal rules of international trade must be discussed in no place other than the WTO, and all interested parties must take part in this discussion. Russia and China will continue to defend this position in various international organizations,” Naryshkin told reporters after the meeting.
The TPP
is a proposed regional free-trade agreement which was signed in February this
year by 12 states in the Asia-Pacific region, including the US, Australia,
Brunei, Canada, Chile, Japan, Malaysia, Mexico, New Zealand, Peru, Singapore
and Vietnam. The agreement has not yet come into force as it has to be ratified
by all member-nations.
In late
2014 Russian President Vladimir Putin said that the Trans-Pacific Partnership
agreement would not be effective if it excludes key regional players such as
Russia and China. “Obviously, the
Trans-Pacific Partnership is just another US attempt to build an architecture
of regional economic cooperation that the US would benefit from,” the
Russian president said in an interview with the Chinese mass media in
connection to his official visit to Beijing.
“At the same time, I believe that the absence
of two major regional players such as Russia and China in its composition will
not promote the establishment of effective trade and economic cooperation,”
the Russian leader added.
In
December 2015 Putin proposed to form an economic bloc that would act as an
alternative to the TPP and asked the government to start making contact with
Asian countries.

"Saya
mencadangkan bahawa kita dan negara-negara Kesatuan Ekonomi Serani lain harus
menendang-keluar perundingan dengan ahli-ahli Pertubuhan Kerjasama Shanghai
[SCO] dan Persatuan Negara-Negara Asia Tenggara [ASEAN] kepada perkongsian
ekonomi yang mungkin," kata Putin kerana dia dialamatkan parlimen
Rusia.
"I suggest that we and other Eurasian
Economic Union countries should kick-off consultations with members of the
Shanghai Cooperation Organisation [SCO] and the Association of Southeast Asian
Nations [ASEAN] on a possible economic partnership," Putin said as
he addressed the Russian parliament.
