Analysts hit back at Obama's comments

The United States should not exclude other countries in setting trade rules, but should embrace rules together with emerging economies, according to Chinese analysts.

They were commenting after US President Barack Obama called for passage of the Trans-Pacific Partnership to be speeded up for his country to compete with China.

The TPP will enable the US to "write the rules" and "call the shots" in trade in the Asia-Pacific region, Obama said in an article published on The Washington Post website on Monday.
