You know the world is getting very weird when the planet’s largest communist country is the leader in the movement to promote free trade. We do not really know whether President-Elect Trump will follow through on his campaign promises to raise tariffs on a variety of countries, but China has already assumed that he will and has taken up the mantle of the state leading the charge towards greater globalization.
We are getting news just now about a strong earthquake in Japan. The quake, estimated at 6.9 on the Richter scale, occurred off the coast near Fukushima, the site of the disastrous earthquake and tsunami in 2011. I will follow up on this story later on this evening as more information becomes available.
