As you know, hydrogen produces nothing but water when burning. Hydrogen-powered vehicles are ultimately environment-friendly!! architecture: 9 Tunnels, bridges and wooden structures are cases in point. The Seikan Tunnel between Aomori Prefecture and Hokkaido is the world's longest undersea tunnel. The Kurushima Kaikyo Bridge was the world's longest suspension bridge when completed in1999. Part of Horyuji Temple in Nara Prefecture is the world's oldest wooden structure. food: 8 Japanese traditional cuisine (washoku/和食) was designated as a UNESCO intangible world heritage in 2013.

There are convenience stores and vending machines all over Japan. 3) Kind but a little humble. I want all Japanese people to be more proud of themselves. 4) vulnerability: Unfortunately Japan is surrounded by authoritarian countries such as Russia and China, and constantly attacked by them. What is worse, there are a variety of natural disasters like earthquakes, typhoons and tsunami. long history: It is said that Japan was founded on February 11, the year 660 BC. unique writing system: Japanese people use Kanji characters(漢字), Hiragana(ひらがな), Katakana(カタカナ) and the Roman alphabet(ABCabc). 「私はUKpostsであなたと出会えてすごくハッピーです。」 （I feel super happy I came across you on UKposts.）

I visited Japan a year ago and jesus christ, especially Tokyo and Osaka, they are way ahead in many ways still. They just don't export those technologies just yet. Its just that, they technology is driven by efficiency. Everything is just so efficient and I come from Australia and i thought we had it pretty good lol. A country can be really efficient without having a large GDP. Japan is such a country. If you think china or the US is advanced cause of its GDP, you are clearly going around it the wrong way.

I thought the narrator was good. It was sympathetic and positive.

Maçã Verde Marxists are pro-industry and against outsourcing. Britain’s industry was destroyed by the policies and ideology of Margaret Thatcher, a right-wing conservative capitalist who shut down coal mines, factories, and destroyed the economy with privatization. Now Britain has no industry, and its private rail is among the LEAST efficient & reliable in the world. Britain’s GDP composition by sector in 2019 is 79.2% service, 20.2% industry, and 0.7% agriculture. China-a Marxist-Leninist socialist country-has a massive industrial base that continues to expand and improve under socialist economic planning. For example, China produces ~950,000,000 tons of steel/year, while the USA produces only ~85,000,000. The closest country to China is India, which produces ~110,000,000 tons/year. Look at other industrial metrics, and they are all the same. China’s GDP composition by sector in 2019 is 6.4% agriculture, 30% industry (vs. 20.2% for Britain), and only 63% service (vs. 79.2% for Britain). I got my GDP composition statistics from the CIA World Factbook, steel production stats are from the respective economic bureaus of China, India, and the USA. Socialism = economic progress, industry, & wealth for all citizens. Capitalism = inefficiency, outsourcing, and economic stagnation. I could go on, but hopefully you see.

@@Tubingenstrnice conspiracy theory 🥴🤯😵‍💫

@@Tubingenstr Bullshit.

I've found Matsushita / National / Panasonic products to always be of very high quality. Very well designed, reliable and always use quality components. I especially like their older products (1960s-1980s) because often, EVERY electronic component in the device is made by them, which is something you would never see in a product today.

Yep Renault's have always been poor quality cars apart from the diesel engines which are reliable mainly 1.5 and 1.9 dci.

All the car manufacturers since the 80s had to deal with emissions reductions and fuel economy increases thanks to gov't mandates, which increased cost, all while having to find ways to reduce expenses to generate higher profits for investors. While Toyota and Honda are high quality vehicles today, they're not nearly as good in quality as they were in the 80s and 90s. The Korean automakers (Hyundai/Kia) becoming more popular due to higher quality (tho still below that of Toyota and Honda) and lower cost has added a lot of competition and at a time when real wages for Western economies has fallen a cheaper car sells better, even if it doesn't last as long. In general, the entire world is regressing.

@fullmetaljaco it's debt held by Japanese themselfs. It's not debt owed to another country so its different

@fullmetaljaco so if Japan is the largest creditor nation and has been for a long time now since the 80s shouldn't it be rated like Germany as a triple AAA economy? Germany seems to have many issues of its own despite being rated so highly.

@fullmetaljaco that's true but it could be maybe Japan has been stagnating and hence the rating. But Japan is also the largest creditor nation so that also doesn't make any sense. Japans gdp per capita is not as high as it should be considering how advanced it looks.

The problem in Japan now is they didn't have enough children 30-40 years ago and they've got too many over 60 that the younger generations are being tasked with supporting the more numerous old folks. Japan had it rough in the 90s when the market crashed and where the Japanese stock markets are today, they're only 200% higher than what they were in 1982. Imagine if the Dow in the US today was only 3000 points, not the 30,000 it is currently. The lack of asset growth crippled Japan, it couldn't grow a consumer economy like the US has and that also made it more difficult for them to have more kids, which meant it couldn't grow later on.

この頃まで？日本は今も前身しています。

Yeah USA struggle against Japan in 1980's and now they repeat again with China

Yea but the difference is that japan did not have nukes and was considered an ally of America and japan was democratic china actually wants to fight America with weapons and they are a dictatorship so the leaders can just play dirty.

I'm Japanese. What you said is exactly! I want Japanese to hear your analysis. who are you? why you know well?

@@aaiai8230 I have lived in Japan for many years. I own a small company in Tokyo, and before that I worked in the financial sector in Otemachi. I have met and talked with a large number of Japanese businessmen, company executives, and politicians, and have learned a lot from them. I love living in Japan, and have done pretty well here, but the situation is not good. Though most Japanese have a good understanding of economics, and the concept of value, the government does not. Value is the return one gets from labor; nature and the market assign a natural value to all things. The government disregards the concept of value, thinking that policy, via manipulating interest rates and currency supply, they can control it or defy it. And despite a 100% record of failure from this process, they keep doing the same thing. Since 1995, when the consumption tax was first implemented, Japan has more or less been in a constant state of recession. 18 bouts of fiscal stimulus were enacted, none succeeded. Instead of learning from this perpetual failure, the government throws good money after bad, the BOJ is now printing money and using it to prop up the Japanese stock market. As of today, the BOJ is the majority shareholder in many of Japan's top companies, which is absurd. An economy has a natural value, when the market is distorted, and the value manipulated artificially, it eventually swings back to its natural value, but must first swing past the point of balance to the negative, which wipes off the artificial value which was added. We see this in action whenever there is recession or stock market crash. Japan has been battling with deflation for many years now. Why is the economy deflationary? Because prices are too high. Why are prices too high? Because taxes, tariffs, price fixing, and other practices make things more expensive than they should be. When prices are too high, people buy less. When people buy less, supply exceeds demand, when this happens, prices must go down. But instead of letting prices fall, the government continues to enact policies to keep prices high, such as increasing the consumption tax. Increasing the consumption tax causes people to buy less, because with prices already too high, the tax makes them even more expensive. So less goods are sold, companies make less money, therefore they cannot afford to earn a profit or raise wages. Since they don't earn a profit, they cannot expand, since they cannot raise wages, people can even less afford to buy more expensive things. A 3% increase in the tax results in more than a 3% decline in consumption, profits, private income, and spending, the end result is the government earns less tax revenue than before the tax was implemented, especially when you consider the vast amounts deficit spent in order to "stimulate" the economy more than negates wha tax revenue is gained by the increase. It is insanity, and eventually the house of cards which has taken the place of Japan's once strong economy is going to get knocked down.

@@jpguthrie6669 japam is the world's second largest surplus country with a huge foreign exchange reserve. They seem to be doing fine. They just need an increase in wages.

Basically, Japan dug its own grave. They still don't know why it happened and why it still hasn't gone away. If they did, it would have been start recovering long ago. Quantitative easing, my ass. It hasn't worked anywhere.

@Marcus-Aerilius Maximus says: "well, japanese are smart ppl so they should have figured something out by now..." == What are they waiting for then?

@Marcus-Aerilius Maximus says: "Pretty sure there are things us plebs dont know about." == By just waiting and let the people suffer from recession meanwhile?
