In recent years,there has been difficulties and stagnation in the development of the internal organization APEC,coupled with the blocked of WTO multilateral trade negotiations. For the sake of their own interests,APEC member countries have signed a number of bilateral or multilateral free trade agreements （referred as FTAs）.Initially launched by four small countries inside APEC organization,Chile,Singapore, New Zealand and Brunei,TPP attracted the world attention because of the United States declared to join in.TPP’s expansion will have great influence in economic integration of East Asian and significant impact in economic,political, security and regional strategy. Thus, it has a very important practical significance to study the progress ofTPP and its impact on China and put forward China’s countermeasures.This paper first introduces the research background, including the status quo and development trend ofTPP study in mainland and abroad. The second part of the article describes the main contents of theTPP, the main characteristics and development process；TPP requires high standards in technical barriers of trade, sanitary, competition policy, intellectual property, government procurement, dispute resolution and labor and environmental protection； Then introduces the foreword topics andTPP expansion issues and obstacles.
