A lot is happening in the world right now. All the more reason to read the data correctly. My latest @NikkeiAsia op-ed pushes back on the idea that Japan's low real effective exchange rate signals a crisis.

Farewell, Nikkei! Starting from the headline desk in Osaka, I was blessed to report across Japan, the U.S., China and the Middle East.
Starting April, I’ll continue that journey at the Hudson Institute as Senior Fellow for Greater Asia — the strategic arc from Japan to Turkey along the ancient Silk Road. Thank you all.

Respect to the @TaiwanFCC board for making this happen. Last time a KMT chair was this accessible to foreign media was in 2017, when Hung Hsiu-chu was in charge of the party.
