■ Interpretation

Japan and South Korea free trade zone when it can be established?

free trade zone, take a long time

Institute of International Studies, Tsinghua University Professor USSR: This year the start of FTA negotiations, and does not mean free trade zone will be established soon, there will be a long time. From the exporting country’s perspective, we must hope that the importing country all the country’s export goods tariff reductions, the importing country will not necessarily meet all of the requirements of the exporting country. Japan and South Korea have some weak industries, countries do not want to because the establishment of a free trade area has a great impact on the country’s weak industries.

Japan and South Korea three countries will be on the terms set in the various industries according to their own interests to negotiate, which is a mutual process of the game. But in any case the game, create a free trade zone will have a positive impact on the countries economy.
