(CNN)"China is a repressive regime that engages in thoroughly illiberal policies, from banning free speech to interning religious minorities," Fareed Zakaria writes in the new issue of Foreign Affairs, in an essay entitled "The New China Scare." "Over the last five years, it has intensified its political control and economic statism at home. Abroad, it has become a competitor and in some places a rival of the United States.

Australia Ready on ‘Brexit Day One’ to Begin Work on New UK Trade Deal
Australia wants to begin negotiating a new trade deal with the UK on “day one” of Brexit next year and put it into effect on January 1, 2021.Australia’s Trade Minister Steve Ciobo gave that assurance during a speech delivered in London as he called for Britain to start formal trade talks with Australia on March 30, 2019 — the same day Brexit officially starts. Mr. Ciabo paid tribute to the enduring bonds between Australia and the UK while applauding the fact that Brexit would enable the UK to do business as a “sovereign, open and free” nation. “The Australia-UK trading relationship took a big hit when the UK joined the European Community — especially our agricultural exports,” the trade chief said. “So it will come as no surprise that Australia is determined to ensure that our limited access to the EU and UK markets is not further diminished as a result of the UK leaving the EU. “Australia is moving surely down … [Read more...] about Australia Ready on ‘Brexit Day One’ to Begin Work on New UK Trade Deal
Tokyo’s new stadium: A masterpiece by Japan’s Kengo Kuma
TOKYO (AP) — Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe spoke at Sunday's official completion of the new national stadium, the venue for the opening and closing ceremony of next year's Tokyo Olympics. It will also host track and field and some soccer. He could have spoken for anyone who has been inside the creation of Japanese architect Kengo Kuma, whose venue is sure to be up for many design prizes. “It blends with its surrounding and the natural environment," Abe said, noting it showcased Japan's ties to nature with its use of wood lattice work around the stadium's rim and roof, and earth-tone colors in the seats that are randomly colored brown, gray, two shades of green and white. Tokyo Governor Yuriko Koike pointed out the other strong feature as she spoke. “This stadium uses a lot of trees in its structure," she said, speaking of the greenery that is everywhere — from flower planters, to trees and shrubs. A general view of the new National Stadium is seen … [Read more...] about Tokyo’s new stadium: A masterpiece by Japan’s Kengo Kuma
Ben Shapiro: NY Times columnist is wrong about depression and suicide rates in red states
close Video Trump delivers for US economy despite impeachment battle Reaction and analysis from Real Clear Politics president Tom Bevan and Ballotpedia editor-at-large Scott Rasmussen. Paul Krugman of The New York Times has posited a theory: Red states cause depression and suicide. In a column titled "America's Red State Death Trip," Krugman wrote: "In 1990, today's red and blue states had almost the same life expectancy. Since then, however, life expectancy in Clinton states has risen more or less in line with other advanced countries, compared with almost no gain in Trump country. At this point, blue-state residents can expect to live more than four years longer than their red-state counterparts." On this basis, Krugman blasts Attorney General William Barr, who suggested this year that militant secularism lies behind rising mortality in the United States. Instead, Krugman suggested that "these evils are concentrated in states that voted for Trump, and have largely … [Read more...] about Ben Shapiro: NY Times columnist is wrong about depression and suicide rates in red states
