I thought the Japanese are always very proud of the Japanese rice which is superior in taste and unique. Are we going to get a " bastard " strain that will change everything ? What will happen to the sake ??

Most of our Japanese scholars got their start through fundings from various japanese entities and Government, so it is not surprising there is a prevailing japanese bias( pro Japan, so to speak ) in their research . After all it is not " wise " to bite the hands that feed you. It is refreshing to to have someone with opinions from an " independant " stance. His book should be a plus for understanding of a different culture/society.

And every device Apple makes relies on intricate components made by the Japanese, along with every other device by every other company in the world, Japanese or Western. Without Japan's know how, none of these devices would even be able to exist.

....................................

If that is true then why is I-phone, I-pad not conceived by Japanese companies ? Last I heard Apple is still an American company. Without " inovation " , how can Japan claim the throne of king of the hill ? Where is that cutting edge ( besides the dancing robot ) ?

Japan is not losing its manufacturing edge, Japan basically has a monopoly on advanced, high end manufacturing, they have the world market cornerned on making the things that require the highest level of precision ............................

complacency and one of the prime reasons why Japan is slowly but inevitably falling behind.
