Tensions between Japan and South Korea and efforts to solve the decades-old territorial issues between Japan and Russia are holding the attention of foreign policy experts. ; In many ways, major policy issues that were left unsolved in 2018 may have to be carried by world leaders to 2019.

growth rate: That's nearly 2 million fewer than the year before, according to The Japan Times. China for decades sought to slow its population growth, seeing a massive population as a drag on development, and it now joins Japan, South Korea and other East Asian nations in seeing a radical drop in its birthrate. Numbers released Monday by the National Bureau of Statistics put the population at 1.395 billion in 2018. ; That marked a growth rate of .381 percent, an addition of 15.23 million people, the bureau said.

week: But even with falling house prices in Sydney there is little reason to believe the policy is less popular than it was three years ago, according to The Guardian. One of my favourite fear articles of late was in the Australian this week, which used data from the Australian National University's Australian electoral study of the 2016 election to estimate that while half of all property investors voted for the Coalition at the last federal election, 26 per cent gave their vote to Labor, suggesting the opposition's proposal to grandfather negative gearing risks putting these voters offside . Housing is enough of a worry don't scare us with warnings of rising interest rates Greg Jericho Read more I'm not quite sure why those 26% of investors would now change their vote due to negative gearing given the ALP went to the 2016 election with the exact same policy. The articles about what level of destruction the ALP's policies will wreak are now virtually a daily occurrence especially on aspects of economy dealing with negative gearing and tax. Apparently 26% of investors who were happy with a policy in 2016 now might decide they dislike it enough to change their vote even though the changes would be grandfathered and thus would not affect them. The policy has now been in place for more than three years, so you would expect that voters' feeling are quite baked into their voting choices. Fear and logic do not make for good bedfellows.
