Asia

摘要

China's role in shaping the Asian market continues to evolve. A new regime in North Korea is looking to its northern neighbor as an example of "Communist capitalism." Japan, facing uncertainties in the aftermath of the 2011 earthguake and tsunami, called for greater communication and integration with China to expand trade interests. South Korea, meanwhile, sees its recent free trade agreement with the United States as a means to draw more investment from both Japan and China as it stimulates business and job growth.
