What went so wrong with Japanese electronics and technologies?

20 years ago, companies like Sony, Panasonic, Toshiba, Hitachi, Sharp, Sanyo, Casio, Hitachi, Olympus, Seiko, Sharp, NEC etc dominated the electronics industry but today they are a mere shell of what they used to be like

Their zoomers are talentless niggerbrains and their industrious smart sovlful population either retired or died

They made Software a non-functional requirement and from there the koreans ate their lunch.

Japans economy exploded in the early 90s And never properly recovered if you didn't notice

Japan used to be the go to place for cheap and reliable electronics.
Now that China exists, Japanese products have no place in the international markets.

Lack of diversity, not hiring international talent, and racism.

Unironically protectionism insulated an already overly conservative business culture that feared radical change. Thus they maintained their domestic market well, but failed to compete overseas against cheaper American, Korean and Chinese alternative

Really it's not over for them, they just need to start focusing on quality over price like Germany did with many things. They have it in them. Their old industries are just more sheltered than American auto makers are.

Loss of ambition, making friges, battries or memory cards isn't really prestigious and losing to the us killed their spirit.

>What went so wrong
bad policy
their tech boom was driven by industrial policy, a mix of targeted protective tariffs and more importantly, joint public-private research ventures and subsidies in select cutting edge industries
gov would force big conglomerates to cooperate on fundamental research, create standards, and would fund that research
ever since they fumbled creating a competitor to the first American PCs theyve continued to fumble, or at least theyve become directionless, in terms of industrial policy

the other thing is that after the 1989 crash companies in japan became insanely conservative with their spending
japanese companies all have hoards of cash sitting around, not going toward RnD, because of how traumatized they were from the crash and ensuing decades of stagnation
its not because of "japanese values" or whatever, the japs made so many wild investments in the heights of the 80s
instead of investing in RnD, after the crash japanese companies kept investing abroad instead of domestically

so yeah, bad policy and they never psychologically recovered from the 89 crash, but mostly bad policy
