Asia, a powerful engine of economic growth, risks running out of fuel. Last year the continent absorbed 87% of the crude oil and 86% of the liquefied natural gas that passed through the Strait of Hormuz, which Iran has now blocked. One big Asian country
has plenty in reserve,
but the economies of the rest will quickly suffer.
And in the decade since Britain voted to leave the EU, the country has come to look more like its former trading bloc in numerous ways: economically, politically and even reproductively. Brexit is an
important reason why.
