[@AaronVanWolfen]

They are still around, but under different name and behind the shadows... Mostly are under the name of "The Master Trust Bank of Japan", a trust owned by Mitsubishi Bank (that literally owns everything in Japan with 3 trillions of dollars of assets under control). they are the biggest shareholders in Toyota, Softbank, Sony and mostly of the multi-billion Japanese corporations. And who are the owners of Mitsubishi? impossible to know due to the nature of the Keiretsu.

Will Japanese citizens give up claims to government pensions or will the government allow immigrants in to pay for them?

[@millevenon5853]

They should be like Dubai and allow temporary immigrants

[@redhidinghood9337]

And the answer is: the government will divert more of the money collected from (high) taxes from infrastructure, education, public services and long-term investments into the pensions/wellfare of seniors, who are the biggest voting block, while continuing to run bigger and bigger deficits until something triggers a crisis where everything falls apart and japan enters a very dark time.

[@theoldlore]

Secondary school geography taught us the answer. Japan needs a higher birth rate. There is no genuine solution to degrowth and falling population numbers apart from having higher numbers of natives. The life time money generally stays in the country, whereas most immigrants will eventually flow that money back to their home countries and family there. Demographic crisis is coming, and we can literally only b*ng our way out of it (oh no, a terrible punishment!)

[@pimpcatdaddy]

@@theoldloreJapans birth rate has been in the negative for years. It mirrors South Korea’s birth rate at this point. It’s been negative population growth and people aren’t getting married nor having children.

[@MikeStoneJapan]

I will admit japanese culture does posses a strong aspect of group/national identity and social cohesion in general. And that that aspect can lead to insular behaviours BUT!!! You can't start w/ perry. You have to preface w/ pre Euro, japan -korean peninsula/chinese mainland relations. Lots going on there. The sakkoku jidai wasn't even 300 years and was more a barrier to european cultural influence (read meddling esp missionaries) and attempt to control euro produced goods than being a truly closed country. just my 2 cents Also the Keizai Boom' period is fascinating and worth a close look. The infrastructure, architecture, consumer goods and media from that era is just chef's kiss. One a side note. If I put my armchair historian tin foil hat on, I would say that as long a the seat of Japanese power lies on Honshu, the country will always have ambitions towards the Korean peninsula. That is to say, I wouldn't be surprised if they tried to 'expand' again in the not so distant future (us military presence not withstanding).

[@PiethagorasTearem]

@@atishayritulpatwa its an old idea from a hundred years ago, it wasnt good then it isnt good now. Batteries are not energy dense enough to compete with fossil fuels. You can only pack so much energy inside a battery before it becomes a bomb. It also just recieves electrical energy from powerplants who also just use fossil fuels and coal to generate electricity. So its just a roundabout way of using fossil fuels.

dude the mathew parry ships were not militar ships, they were just merchant ships this idea that mathew parry forced japan to open they gates is a misintrerpratation from he japanese, they were so underdeveloped that when they see parry merchant ships with just the basic weapons to protect the ships they tought it was military ships coming to atack japan and a foreigner nation coming to conquer japan but they werejust merchants asking for selling they products in japan but japan was so behind in tecnology that they think the regular merchant ships were military ships coming to atack them, but in fact it was just regular ships with he basic weapons for self protection, so they "surrender" and let they open the country but in fact they don't even intend to menace japan it was just a misinterpretation from japanese people

[@elderjose9662]

the problem in japan is how old the population is and how old people tend to not want to change anything specifically in the economy, they still thinking like the production of hardware is the best way to go but the market has evolved to software marketing and AI being the new trend but they still thinking that this is the 80s and the analogic market is the deal, they need to hav more young people, they need to make babys ad them a younger generation can change japan's economy, and see how modern marketings has changed

There's a lot more to that metthew perry story than just "they were impressed." Japan captured an american ship and wouldn't give it back. America essentially came up and said "what did you do to our ship" with a full armada. Japan did not like being so thoroughly humiliated, so they made an executive decision to modernize in all things. ... imperialism was one of those "modern things."

[@MikeStoneJapan]

This is spot on. People often make it seem like Japan was closed for business for 200 or so years drinking only tea made japan till perry came and reminded them there was an outside world.
