The theory and practice of free trade is not as applicable as neo-liberalists claim. The truth is, meanwhile, almost every country gives special treatments to cultural goods in the context of trade negotiations. Therefore, it is worth studying how to prevent state interventions in production and distribution of cultural goods from trade agreements. From the perspective, although the once eye-catching Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) had lost its momentum after the official withdrawal of the US, participation from other parties to the now-scuttled trade pacts did leave a valuable lesson for others to learn from. On the basis of an analysis of the TPP in relation to Chapters of Investment, Cross-border Services, E-Commerce, Government Procurement, and State-own Enterprises, this article suggests, the most practical way to pursue national interests of Taiwan will be keeping the principle of audiovisual exception in trade deals on the one hand, and strengthening public media services on the other. |
