South Korea signed a free trade agreement with China, its largest trading partner, this summer. The ROK-PRC free trade agreement promises to eliminate tariffs on 90% of traded goods, open China for new Korean business and investment, and boost trade to over $300 billion. Jeff Schott, senior fellow at the Peterson Institute for International Economics in Washington, DC, speaks to the agreement, a qualitative step-up for China, and the positioning of the agreement relative to the U.S.-led Trans-Pacific Partnership and other initiatives.
