What went wrong?

How did Japan go from being this terrifying economic competitor in the 70s-80s that would drown us all to being frozen in a permanent recession with 0.9 birthrates?

You want the answer: Too much centralization and close cooperation between the government and zaibatsu (industrial conglomerates). It basically proved that socialism doesn't work, at least not for very long anyway.

You killed them with the Plaza Accords, you dumbos.

What's going on in Japan right now? It seems that Abe is going through a major scandal.

Confucianism
College exam suicides, salarymen working to death and millions of permanent young neets are all because of Confucian social structure

Basically, they were able to produce higher quality products at lower price. As other countries started to lose market share due to it, their companies took the Japanese production style to produce high quality products as well, putting Japan on the same footing as everyone else. Their main competitive advantage disappeared

Japanese Millenials decided that working 20 hour days like their parents and grandparents wasn't worth it, so they just tuned out and became slackers who spend all day downloading hentai.

...

I think their population just reached carrying capacity. I mean Japan isn't that large of a country and their cities are so densely populated that it was expected. It's not like China where they have a lot of room to grow - this was bound to happen to Japan.

Fortunately I think the Japanese government is aware enough to reject migrants and instead turn towards automation to augment their economy. I wish them the best, they seem pretty red-pilled on Islam as is.

you didn't kill them with the plaza accord per se. you did however made them join the plaza accord which in turn made them create policy which created the asset bubble.

so, it's kind of like you made them join your club then the japanese set the clubhouse on fire with themselves in it.

Japan needs 300k immigrants

no, their rural towns are abandoned
it's not "carrying capacity" it's centralized job creation

it's simple. other asian countries started the same thing, economically. East asia is just becoming richer after all.

and you should separate the population issue from them because it's basically a huge future issue

Yo'd be surprised at China's population disparity between the urban areas and the countryside.

Non-meme answers here

>I mean Japan isn't that large of a country
It's about as big as California or Texas so it's not that small. The problem is more that Japan is 75% mountains.

t. weaboo

california is full of mountains and desert too

Thug life nothing wrong woth it.

an*me

You mean corporatism right? Because socialism is when they're working for the people, not to line their pockets. Not a socialist btw, I just hate when people take any opportunity to kick the corpse of the term.

Plaza accords

What's their production style called?

That's not the reason for Japan's "decline".
It works for South Korea and China.

Yes I'm sure North Korea totally works by enriching the people and not being the Kim family's personal slaves.

Protip: just because they call themselves the democratic peoples republic and the workers party doesnt make it so. Glad i could clear that up for you my mentally challenged yank friend ;^)

>The problem is more that Japan is 75% mountains.

That's not unique to Japan. There's a shit load of other countries that are more mountainous than Japan. Japan also has a shit load of ocean resources. California and Texas were originally nothing but fucking deserts.

democracy is wrong
this shit religion always did tax increase and tax increase

there is nothing wrong with low birthrates because technically Japan is not at war with any countries so they would not need additional manpower. also they have robots to do the heavy jobs so I think that is justifiable.

Here people don't want to procreate either. After a decade or two, we will be a Russian-speaking country due to mass-immigration from the East.

That is what happens when the US inserts western values, like womenz must werk! In an eastern country

Thanks

Models in my country was an American company
IBM and GE, these were senpai of all Japanese companies
Jeff Immelt's book is best selling in Japan
but, We failed to create software companies like Microsoft and Google

>that's not real socialism tho :^)

Fuck off.
