Irrelevant, since not a member.   As good or bad as NATO or EU/US FTA .. If a member or not.

 

Trading alliances are a good thing .. for the members.

 

I just hope TH doesn't do a FTA with USA, or if so, simply don't honor it ???? as will jack up the price of pharmaceuticals here.

 

One difference, I do noitice, I think from reading, and IMO, USA bullies their way in FTA's and seems BRICS & ASEAN countries, are having more mutual respect & fairness when talking together. 

 

Don't seem to attach conditions to everything as USA does.
