    Japan China relation ship will be complementary one for foreseeable future... Just like England and France in 19th century... England choose to go mass production and France concentrate in producing high quality product in smaller scale. But 10-20 years up, the game could change... A friend of mine is selling alot chips and most of them coming from USA.. He sell alot of them to Sony and panasonic.. Alot of this chips can only be made in USA... He said this chips selling business wont last until his children cause Taiwan and China is catching up too fast.. Sooner or later those companies will stop buying from him but instead from China..

    I really want to see Japan to maintain its wealth... This is still the best country for me... Safe, clean, polite.. It has all the ingredient to make a really good country... I think Japan should open up immigration to really smart people or really rich people only.. Just like what Singapore does...

    Finish product is the one that will get to consumer.. If there is no company that know how to make use of those semi conductor "monopoly by Japanese" to make attractive product for consumer to buy, then what is the semi conductor good for then? Its just another radio shack chip sitting in the vault...

    Take out China and India for manufacturing equation. How much do you think those ipad cost if they were made in USA or Japan? Do you think they can sell as many ipad as the news reported today? I doubt Apple can sell those ipad for USD5-600 bucks... If they go for thousands, not many people will buy and those record sales wont even happen...

    Everyone do contribute something in here... Japan make those chips, Apple make the product, China manufacture lower the price = Great affordable product... Everyone goes home happy...

    I am living in Japan and I hope Japan can stay in good shape economically. But I suggest Japan should never ever under estimate SK and China. SK is really small country compare to Japan and they are doing amazing thing with their country. And China only 20 years ago most of them are farmers and today are number 2 in term of GDP. Technologically China cannot compare to Japan atm but 10-20 years down the road, things could be very different.

    My mother in law always told me in Japan when she was young everyone was very poor. She was born in 1950 and within her life time Japan had grown from ashes to this super power... If Japan can do it, what makes you thing SK and China can't? Japan isnt the only country that is hard working and has the ambition to grow... You can see China grow so much over 20 years..

    I remember 10 years ago looking at Samsung cell phone... They are cheap and unreliable... Most people prefer to use either Nokia or Motorola... Look at Samsung now... Yes alot of the parts inside make happen by Japan technological know how.... But somehow they could reach that top spot along with apple....

    Oginome kept pointing out the semi conductor know how.. But you have to remember China is making it affordable for the masses... And because companies like Apple and Samsung could use those product inside their phone, demand kept rolling into those companies and those companies could keep on making it better... In the end, price does matter! I dont care if my phone have 10gig inside.. But I do care how much I have to pay...

    Also, Japan semi conductor alone cannot carry the whole nation GDP... Its not ok for Toyota, Mazda, Honda, Sony, Panasonic to go... Those companies hire tens of thousands of worker in Japan...

    politicians and their games

    the olympic games is a sporting event, not a place to make a political stand. the tension between china and tibet has got nothing to do with it. politicians, celebrities and other organizations that are boycotting the 2008 games should learn to take their issues somewhere else. by the way these are people who are 99% serving their own self-interest (publicity? political gain? polishing their 'righteousness'?) isn't it time to respect the ability of sports to bring together people from around the world? think about the history the olympic games, by the name of Zeus. to the sportsman/woman who are taking part in the boycott, u should be more ashamed of urself. what do u really know about the history of china and tibet? are u just doing it because 'everyone else' is doing it? too many people acting like they know what they're talking about. wake up. we are all concerned about the riots and violence that's happening in tibet and china, and yes we should bring about debate and change. will boycotting the 2008 games solve anything? we'll probably only contribute to the spirit of the games diminishing. and soon, the olympic games will be replaced with debates and hot issues if we allow this to happen. what to expect in london 2012? ties between the UK and the middle east? boring. plus nobody cares. if u think i'm wrong, u are wrong.
