Globalization generally increases connections among countries through trade, media, and multinational businesses. Nations reducing trade barriers and NBA games being broadcast in China are examples of those connections. North Korea’s restrictions limit globalization rather than expand it. Globalization tends to create more regional economic blocs and multinational corporations, so the claim that fewer are created is not an effect.
