TPTB in Vietnam are totally on board with TPP. Rich get richer, etc. One thing of note in the referenced article, family farms that raise animals for sale in the market would be reduced from two million (2,000,000) to four hundred thousand (400,000). Only the larger farms would be allowed to raise animals for sale, so the small farms would do what, exactly? The loss of income for one million six hundred (1,600,000) families would be devastating.

Any protest against govt policy is discouraged.
