TAPP Signs Onto Coalition Letter to USTR on Discriminatory Digital Trade Practices in Asia

The Trade Alliance to Promote Prosperity recently signed onto a letter to U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer regarding discriminatory digital trade practices in Asia in upcoming Section 301 investigations.

In part, the coalition wrote, "A growing number of Asian governments are adopting regulatory frameworks—often modeled on the EU’s Digital Markets Act—that disproportionately burden American technology companies while shielding domestic and Chinese competitors. These measures include targeted enforcement actions, DMA-style platform regulation, data localization mandates, and restrictions on foreign investment in digital services. Taken together, they represent a pattern of non-tariff barriers that threaten American innovation, investment, and technological leadership across the region... American companies operating abroad deserve fair, non-discriminatory treatment consistent with trade agreements and global norms. This improves competition and helps keep prices of goods and services affordable for consumers. We stand ready to support your efforts to defend American competitiveness across the Asia-Pacific and beyond."
