Donald Trumpโs decision to abandon the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) marks a fundamental change from Barack Obamaโs priorities. It could also create a policy vacuum in Asia, as the US is no longer the driving force behind regional integration. China, which sees new opportunities in the American withdrawal, is attempting to foster its own integration schemes โ but it remains unclear whether it will be able to replace the US as the worldโs globalization leader.
