Abstract:

The Asian countries should use this 10-year anniversary to solidify their ongoing recovery by bolstering their commitment to greater economic freedom, and the U.S. should reinforce its vision of economic freedom and prosperity in Asia by supporting these countries' efforts to increase their economic freedom and by congressional action to renew the President's expired trade promotion authority.
