I really wonder what is behind TPP. Close to 10% jobless rate in U.S. is a nightmare but no Japanese wishes to see that rate here in Japan.
Many tweets suggest "Japanese interpret TPP as a U.S. way of exporting its nightmare "high jobless rate" to Japan. Jobs there, No jobs here.
Many see no benefit of joining TPP since export occupies only 13% of JPN's GDP whereas U.S. tries to double its export, so as to create Jobs.
U.S. should promote exports to China and India instead of focusing on Japan. U.S. citizens participate in "Occupy Wall Street" movement while Japanese nationals protest against Japan participating in TPP talks.
TPP means nothing but "Occupy Japan movement". This is the way many of the Japanese nationals see U.S. urging JPN to participate in TPP talks.
