How America Crushed Japan’s Economic Rise

[@BehindAsia]

Do you believe that the U.S. contributed to Japan's economic decline?

[@maxman4948]

Yes, if their bubble has not been so huge, they would not have lost 30years

LOL ... Simply google economic indicators like GDP, GDP percapita of The US vs its allies. You will see The US is significantly increasing relative to its allies from time to time (in other words, allies are gradually shrinking relative to the US). Look at how chaotic Europe is now. Centuries of easy money through colonization only lasts you several decades? That's the price of being milking cow. LOL ...

Certainly, there are aspects of the Plaza Accord and the Japan-U.S. Semiconductor Agreement that forcefully reduced Japan's economic and trade power from the United States. But I think that the inaction of the Japanese government after the collapse of the bubble economy was the primary cause of Japan's downfall. The Japanese government hid and did not dispose of bad loans, did not restructure the financial system, and did not actively participate in the global technological competition, which resulted in stagflation and the overtaking of electronics and other products by South Korea and Taiwan.

I am from Germany and we kinda have the same problem like Japan, we are really dependent on the US. I really hope Trump will give both our countries the necessary push to become independent in terms of the economy and security.

[@joshuadunford3171]

Given his history of failed business and his charity and university scams I highly doubt it

[@constantinosbou]

Yeah sorry, US will never do this. It's crazy to except something like this from Trump.

If your independence is granted by US, is that really "independence"? 😆 😂 😆

Japan should have not been so reliant on the US for exports. They should've turned to China and SE Asia and other nations for trade and also develop their economies. It just shows how short sighted the Japanese political leaders were.

[@王全当]

Maybe the leaders in japan aren’t gods.cant foreseeing the future of bubble economics.but what make me surprise is Japanese is still so rely on USA until now😂

[@jonpaul3868]

The US was in need of "success narration" post WW2 and on cold war. The narration was: "look at the countries that join our blocks, they becoming rich" . Japan was allowed to enter the US market with undervalued Yen. Japan succes was basically upon propaganda, not solely natural. And at some point the US cancelled the "success naration" namely "plaza accord"

The U S will just remain on the sideline watching the slow downward spiral of the Philippine’s economy, due mainly to its incompetent leadership.

Flips rise? You’ll have to put a lot more bicarbonate and yeast into the balut. What can come out of the balut? a duckling or a snakeling? Japan have had its achievements and success after its catastrophic defeat in WW2 and being neo-colonized by the US. What about the Philippines? A steady decline from 1950s, $1 = 2 pissos, to now and into 2025, $1 = 60 pissos. The pissos get really pissed by the US, and Flips elites and oligarchs find it lucrative to make more money by x30! At the expense of 60% poverty, landlessness and homelessness of its people, of a growing divide between Manila where the AFP military is entrenched in Aguinaldo and outside of Manila, between Manila and Jolo, the Muslim Sulu/Mindanao. Of late with Bobo stepping into Malacanang to reclaim the boisterous throne of his father Ferdy, there has not only been constant piping and drumming of Flips rising and growing into a powerhouse but louder mortgaging more than ever of growth potentials, like India of more than 1.4B people, Flips is just about 1/10th size of India or China. The potentials are there more than 75 years ago. And what is Flips and India of today, to talk about 30 years from today? The very basic fundamentals of growth, infrastructure and human intelligence and entrepreneurship are next to non-existence. There is great volume (of noise in an empty vessel) than a critical mass that can sustain momentum and motion. It’s always rolling into the drain like a pinball. Can one trust and have confidence in the boisterous noise of Flips and India’s ballistic trajectories? to land on the moon?

Japan thought they were smarter than the Americans at that time.

it's because capitalism requires global monopoly exerted by a single country to survive, the capitalist class needs no competition or rival nations in order to secure the system for a long run.

Germany and Japan are still the third and fourth largest economies in the world. Japan is a soft power superpower via its cultural exports-anime,manga,films,food,sports,etc. Copy and pasters can never win hearts and minds worldwide. 😂
