“…Along similar lines, as argued by Anderson et al (2010), "the government procurement provisions of RTAs have made feasible a significant further expansion of the membership of the Government Procurement Agreement (GPA), in the event that parties decide to take this step. "…”

“…More procuring opportunities are open to some partners in the FTAs which are not GPA parties, such as the US-Central America-Dominica Free Trade Agreement, the US-Chile Free Trade Agreement, etc. (Anderson, Müller, Osei-Lah, Leon, & Pelletier, 2011) With the Fast Track Authority (FTA), Trump is authorized to accelerate the legislative process of international agreements in the United States. In the pursuit of fair and reciprocal trade relationship, Trump Administration withdrew from the Trans-Pacific Partnership Agreement (TPP) and replaced the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) with the US-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA), revised the US-Korea Free Trade Agreement (KORUS), delayed US-EU Cross-Atlantic Trade and Investment Partnership Agreement (TTIP), and started new negotiations with Japan and Britain.…”

China committed to initiate the accession to Government Procurement Agreement when it entered the WTO as a compromise to the requirements made by GPA parties, mostly the developed western countries such as the United States. China started its official attempt to join the GPA on December 28, 2007 by submitting the first offer to the GPA Commission. Six revised offer were then submitted during the past years. The position of the United States and China in international trade changed dramatically since then. This article finds that Trump Administration’s attitude toward China’s accession to GPA is mixed and the US government might impede China’s accession with the analysis on the current American foreign trade policy and the latest development in government procurement in the US’s related international agreements and domestic laws. However, this accession process can only be delayed but not terminated even if the standpoint of the US is proved to be negative due to the theoretical and technical analysis on GPA. Effective and significant measures will be taken by Chinese government since the president Xi Jinping made the statement to accelerate the accession to GPA in Boao Forum in early 2018.

“…The evidence on this is not very encouraging. Many current PTAs include chapters on government procurement policies (Anderson et al 2011;Bourgeois et al 2007;Rickard & Kono 2014;Ueno 2013), including commitments that are enforceable through domestic bid-challenge type mechanisms. 15 As mentioned, the EU has far-reaching rules on procurement, essentially prohibiting procurement favouritism within the single market.…”
