Nikkei Asia

Japan-based, pro-business, pro-free-market

Nikkei Asia is owned by Nikkei, Inc., the Tokyo-based publisher of Japan's leading business daily. It takes a pro-business, free-market editorial stance shaped more by Japanese and pan-Asian economic priorities than by U.S. partisan politics. Its coverage of the Trump administration's second term focuses heavily on the economic harm of tariffs and trade uncertainty to Asian markets and governments, with a consistently skeptical tone toward those policies.
