Best picture from Japan's low-key local elections! This Japanese wrestler won a seat in the Nagano prefectural assembly. He'll continue to wear his trademark mask during legislative meetings. #japan #elections lnkd.in/eZG5ZJA6

Washington has a profound skepticism these days towards free trade--a topic on which Biden and Trump are two peas in a pod. I shared that view with Hiroyuki Kotake in his column today (in Japanese). #japan Eurasia Group lnkd.in/gCthwDFt
