What happened to the Japan will be a world power meme from the 80s?

How did it even start. It's all over my books, movies, and animus from 80s till 2010s

What happened??

Japan's economy tanked in the 90s and they got replaced by China

they have no birth rates and are not as influential as other countries who have wisely decided to import immigrants to remain competitive in the global market and maintain growth

1) Your country crashes with no survivors because nobody wants to raise children and instead want to jack off to anime

2) You import virile immigrants and keep going

What do you choose?

It was always going to go to shit. They have the worst debt, everything about it is completely unsustainable and not conducive to stability and growth.

anime happened

China's century nigga.

Really? Too much porn? How'd they fuck up so badly

this

communists

They'll be fine. They've got the asian muslims on their side moving forward

>wisely

Still declining birth rates?

Why doesn't the government step in or soemthing

They thought they were hot shit making all the cars,TVs,Walkmans,and all kinds of electronics. Then other countries expanded their markets like USA,korea, and China. To think Japan was thought of as some high tech place a few years ago.

If they just made things in anime real they could have made some dank stuff

Declining birthrates. Mass offshoring of Blue collar work to China and the US. Japanese made goods being too expensive. Also a very old population.

Still a good country that makes high quality beef, electronics, and cars. It just got to expensive to make stuff there. If Japan stays white and America becomes Negro/Mestizoized Japan will become the next big world power again.

>tfw no government assigned gf

Are there even jobs to support a bigger population?

Wow you literally can't win

It's fucking hard to pick but I'm going to have to go with #2. Wait fuck it I don't Africans and crazy Muslims coming in

Nevermind I'll go with #1. At least when I die my life has been good. If I screw over the new generation so be it

But the Japanese weren't making it for long. In the 80s-90s Sony opened up plants across the country and one by me in Westmoreland county PA. They manufactured TVs until trade opened up with China. Then Sony left to make their stuff there.

>To think Japan was thought of as some high tech place a few years ago.
They kind of still are. The consumer electronics industry has matured but Japan is still far ahead of the curve in robotics design and automated manufacturing.

So it was weaboos who started this cyberpunk, Japan will be #1 just wait thing??

Sucks cause cyberpunk is cool. Should've made it an American thing

Why didn't people bet on China back then? Much more reasonable

Alot of the real high quality electronics are still Japanese. The consumer shit is now made in China, stuff like Apple, Huawei, HTC even Sony now makes stuff in China. Just look up how much Japanese made Fujitsu, and Panasonic products are and you will see what I mean.

China was in really bad shape in the 80s. People were starving and the best steel they could create was horrible.

Because china was a mud but shithole in the 80s and still rather obscure.

Literally unstoppable

Eww

Hmm

Makes sense now

I've read Germany is the leader in precision robotic/automated manufacturing. There is no innovation anymore. Self driving cars, touchscreen phones(iPhone/android), VR, and drones, these things were popularized outside of japan because they were behind the times.

amerishits fucked them up out of butthurt, look plaza accord

Feminism happened, actually. If women were worth a shit, men would marry them.

Hubris and decadence go hand in hand, people looked at Japan's technological sophistication and thought that was all they would need to sustain growth in their economy and their political influence

> tfw no strong jawed chink pilot gf

Skimming through it seems like it didn't work as planned.

Why did China succeed and Russia fail

Seems like they were in the same boat. Both let go of communism as well

Russia had the misfortune of this retard

Hard to answer briefly but china and Russia's reforms during the 80s were quite different. Deng Xiaoping allowed markets and private investment but heavily under the thumb of the state and had an absolutely massive labor force from the farms ready to make cheap shit for the world. Russia I don't know as much about but things seemed at least stable until the last gorbi years and the yeltsin administration

The phones thing is a Joke. Xperia is still miles ahead of Iphone in terms of Hardware. As for drones and self driving cars the Japan still provides alot of parts for those devices, or they are provided by Japanese companies but made in China.

china used its communism to consolidate and grow starting with agriculture then industrialization. I forgot what plan it was, but they did fuck up a few times and starved a generation. China was also more global then the USSR which wanted to stay in its own commie sphere.

a bit old tho
yasukawa, fanuc, kawasaki, and fujikoshi are japanese

Everyone uses iPhones in Japan anyway, and outside Galaxy is the main alternative. Experia and Aquis may be nice phones but they came late in the game adapting straight from the competition. There is some self driving tech in Japan recently, but it is "dumb" technology that just uses a few cameras.

pragmatism isn't everything
japan is doing absolutely the right thing
shit I mean at least you will admit that's what the immigration is about, and not some humanitarian thing
in 19th century the west was claiming shit like the opium wars was humanitarian in a sense too, free trade as a sort of global right. never trust post-enlightenment westerners 2bh

I read that it had something to do with this, among other things
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zombie_company

Cyberpunk.

Interesting , Kuka is the German company that has expanded. Got to find some recent data maybe later .Apparently Durr is another German company that is growing, with major shares of auto paint robots.

Was he really that bad

Smart Chinamen. Truly our greatest ally

Seems like America or Israel fucked Japan desu

>If Japan stays white


...America.

Japanese economic miracle than then collapsed into stagnation.

Also all those stories involved WWIII happening and destroying all the major powers except Japan because it was an unimportant island. dunno why that cliche emerged.

Lol I remember that now too seems so dumb when you point it out like that

I guess it's cause no one has beef with Japan

Japan will be fine. You talk about it like its Greece or something. They still have the 4th or so largest economy. Unemployment and crime are low and thats whats important.

Japanese people are Chinese.

They need to stop being delusional and egotistic pricks.

Japanese people are human.

Grow up.

Japan IS a world power today OP.

A world power of MEMES.

During the vietnam US supply ships would stop in Japan and pick up goods on their way home.

>What happened to the Japan will be a world power meme from the 80s?
It was only murrican "eternal growth" delusion in the first place.

japan has happened in the west. that 80s memes have been actually real now.
its been achieved even though its only on the internet. they were right.

in the 80s and the half of 90s the japanese and their whole culture were treated much more shitty way than now and nobody had even wanted to be a japanophile or buy their cultural mediums/byproducts even in an ironical or a weird special snowflake way, except for very simple shit like NES. you westerners were only buying japanese products as literal commodity and had no interests in its modern culture.
