China-Asean free-trade pact comes into force

Premium

Bangkok: A free-trade agreement between China and South-East Asia comes into force on Friday, consolidating a sixfold surge in economic activity over the past decade between countries representing a quarter of the world’s population.

The pact expands a limited 2005 trade area between China and the 10-member Association of Southeast Asian Nations (Asean), scrapping tariffs on around 90% of goods. By 2015, duties must be cut to no more than 50% on highly sensitive items.
