desu they're winning, they're getting all the EU money with next to none of the immigration that is destroying the west of Europe.
Eastern countries will be better off in the end because they can rebuild while the west will experience what yugoslavia did when 40% of the population are not natives and don't like the political situation not catering to them.

meanwhile Italy will finally fall to islam, it didn't take the arab caliphate or ottomans instead just a bunch of jewish ngo's dumping them on your beaches.

GDP is a meme. Market cap reveals a country’s true weight in the capital-driven world.
Stock Market Capitalization by Country - 2025-05
- China: $9.9T
- Japan: $6.7T
- India: $4.3T
- Taiwan: $2T
- South Korea: $1.7T
Japan's $6.7T market cap is double Germany’s $2.9T, which will upset GDP purists. Japan punches above its weight in corporate scale, and investor participation.
Plaza Accord (1985) was intended to depreciate USD, by forcing the appreciation of JPY. In contrast, Japan is now allowed to depreciate its currency. This benefits Japan’s exporters, stock market valuations, and inflation targets (finally hitting 2% CPI target).
US now tolerates Japan’s Weak Yen, because China is the new trade target. Japan is seen as a key ally within their economic bloc. This makes Japan a more attractive supply chain hub, reducing China exposure.

kek you’re retarded if you believe that
the mentality diffrence is huge
in general, compared to germans poles are thieves (employed are treated like cattle) and dont care about anything other than themselves (people parking their cars like niggers)
GDP is a poor metric, especially when used uncritically as a proxy for economic well-being. Because it counts things like high housing costs or having to pay for something that used to be free as "economic growth".
Also, weak currency (against USD) makes things misleading. Japan's GDP is actually growing (JPY-based), but in USD-based terms, Japan looks stagnant, and this affects global rankings.
The deflationary curse has moved to China. They are now facing the kinds of deflationary challenges Japan once did, falling prices, weak demand, and hesitant stimulus response.
