What you don
t seem to understand is that the chinese have the resources the desire AND the brain power to topple japan. People are attacking your comments because your arguments clearly state that japan can do no wrong and cannot fail because no one else can match them. But you conveniently seem to forget countries like Germany, israel and the USA who produce high precision equipment for all sorts of industries. Ill let you think about those industries i am refering to before I post them.But seriously you use the feeble argument that the korean`s have to rely on japanese tech in order to produce their own products, that might have been true in the past but if you read the article the koreans are now the only country pursuing OLED with the japanese ADMITTING they cannot compete because their yields are crap and are bowing out.
Not really, you are the only one who
s posts are clearly not grounded with facts and are delusional. Only you dont see it and instead continue to spout more mindless banter with nothing to back it up. So yeah my original assessment of your insecurities still stands.Posted in: Japan losing its manufacturing edge to South Korea

Not true. It is by cunning market moves that china has come to dominate the rare earths sector. By originally offering rare earths at cheaper prices that lead to mines being shut down all over the world such as in Australia, US, Canada and places in africa. Make no mistake those countries will have rare earths available when china exhausts hers, but it did not come about by "luck".
oginome It is clear you are extremely insecure and you seem to tie your own self worth to that of japan`s perceived tech prowess. Despite mouting evidence you still desperately need to argue in favour of japan being some super awesome "high tech" paradise that can never fail, or be touched by anyone on the planet."

Dumb. This suggestion is out of date. What you're really saying is "we need to hire foreigners, indoctrinate them to our culture and sales tactics and then send them back to their own countries to extol the "awesomeness" of japanese culture.". Drone alert!
The only real creative thing in japan is the porn. First class and innovative. There are few bands that are good - Fujifabric being one of them - but the lead singer is dead and they disbanded.
I suppose i can see why there would be a push for selling 'kawaii' culture because it is unique to japan. Few, if any, countries exploit young girls quite like japan does. You'd have to some how mitigate the 'paedophile ' image in order for it to be successful.
Perhaps you can up the output of the high quality green tea that never gets exported, instead all the rancid crap gets sold abroad. That's something that is unique to japan and could perhaps build an image/brand around.
The article also talks about korea being successful, in asia perhaps, but the rest of the world? Maybe what Yoshito Hori is saying is that japan needs to really penetrate the massive chinese market by telling them japan is "cool", and if successful, can sell more hardware products to them...because if japan isn't too careful chinese culture could become "cool" and with it all the tech clones will be selling their wares en masse in japan.

Gambaro isn't being racist, there is a high proportion of people from other countries who forgo deodorant and bathing as a cost saving measure.
But it is funny to see how white people have programmed themselves to beat each other up if they speak the truth.

Religion definitely uses fear, shame and guilt tripping to control people. With religious people there also seems to be competition to see who is more "moral", and thus closer to god, giving rise to tiers or layers or classes etc that only piss people off subconsciously. This, over time, drives people..well..insane, or at the very least they lose their way when it comes to morality since no one can be perfect.
Teaching people how to live with nature and with other people without trying to manipulate them with fear etc, will usually get you a better quality person in the end.

Heh JT had an article recently talking about AKB48, the online discussion immediately went to how only otaku perverts gravitate towards AKB and other juvenile J-bands. He was in absolute denial about that fact, and even deleted my post confirming what others had already stated....which is "AKB and other girl pop bands are for perverted otakus".
Hopefully he's reading these posts.

I don't agree. People have been leaving england by the 100's of thousands each year to get away from this kind of thuggery that happens on a daily basis most cities. So this isn't just "some immature punks being irresponsible", it's in fact part of the british cultural fabric.

He's an american working for the US government. The media identifies him as an american, not a brit. The leak that happened some months ago was also perpetrated by an american and subsequently splashed all over Wikileaks.
Remember the FBI agent Robert Hanssen? Selling US secrets to whomever? Yet another american, in a long list of americans, who apparently enjoy betraying their country.

The answer is sell europe to the chinese. Europeans have proven themselves to be useless at money matters, except germany.

Americans are programmed to worship the rich. All the Oooo's and Ahhh's from the poor and middle class over shows on the tele that go on and on about rich people's wealth and material possessions.
Extreme communism doesn't work (russia), extreme capitalism (survival of the fittest) doesn't work (usa).
The best countries in the world strike a balance between the two. The best countries in the world also have smaller, more manageable populations.

It's obvious you feel threatened and insecure about other people's achievements.
If i remember correctly the canadians weren't clamoring for 'gold only' like you claim. They said something to the effect of owning the podium which means ALL medals.
I think the usa and canada are the only two countries who rank performance based on TOTAL medals won and not simply gold only, which pretty much every other country does. Maybe you don't know this fact? Evidently not since you seem to be losing control of your better judgement by making more delusional posts.
It just so happens that canada pulled an impressive feat and breaking a winter olympic record, surprising themselves in the process.
Hats off to all my canadian friends and also to the americans who won the most total medals.

It's a poignant statement about just how important toyota is, psychologically and economically, to japan.
