Headline

China would be worse off if it remained outside of TPP, but better off if it joined TPP, and even better if FTAAP were formed.

Abstract

If TPP were going to produce very sizeable real income gains for most American workers (through some combination of higher wages and lower prices), then the economic arguments for TPP might be more persuasive.
