Do Japanese people even realize that their country is stagnating and they are being surpassed one by one by excommunist eastern European shitholes? You never hear of any political strife in Japan because of that, if it was Europe or America people would riot in the streets. Do they even have political life in this country? For me it kinda looks like Japanese people are completely not interested in politics, there is a caste of politicians ruling the country, sometimes worse, sometimes better, but it's still the same party for decades and everyone is fine with that.

S. Korea is way better than that weeb shithole

>>211964131 (OP)
Notice how developed parts of mainland China and South Korea which have surpassed Japan and are "living in the 2025" are more americanized
They are stuck in 00s in more ways and it's a good thing

>>211964323
I rather wonder why Eastern Europeans change nothing in their thirdie mentality even though they are economically growing. When I play online game, I realize most of Eastern Europeans use cheat code and use cusswords when they lose a match. I think Chinese players became better and better in morality for this 10 years but Eastern Europeans never change.

A recession that's been going on since the 90s + Their population that's slowly aging to hell.

I think it's still better than it used to be, for example piracy is almost non-existent here now even though 20 years ago it was basically standard

i can see it here in many other things, it's actually interesting how we are becoming a hi-trust country. More and more people have only small aesthetical picket fences in front of their houses rather than walls/iron nets. And just a few years ago I was riding a train and the ticket inspector came to the car, asked "is there anyone without a ticket" and when no one said anything, he went away. I imagine that's how life in Japan must be.

>>211965096
>it's actually interesting how we are becoming a hi-trust country.

I read that there's big problem with ukrainian and georgian criminals in poland so becomeing a true high trust society might be impossible with them around.

>>211965165
georgian crime is already being dealt with
https://x.com/donaldtusk/status/1897269815158734948

ukrainian crime was never a thing, Ukrainians have pretty much the same crime rates like Poles (per capita)

and well, im talking mostly about the polish society, nowadays i feel like i can at least trust my fellow Pole, and that's already big change because 2 decades ago it was definitely not a given, I just need to be more cautious with certain ethnics, that's all.

I honestly wondered what slavs think about themselves btw. You guys were treated literal subhumans for at least 2,000 years and it's fact you guys didn't accomplish anything even though neighboring one of the most developed civilization. "Europeans" kept looking down on slavs and no one in Europe never even doubted it. But today, you guys answer "I'm European!" when you get asked where are you from. Why aren't you ashamed of it?

>>211965045
>Which is an extremely retarded take considering that Germany was also subject to it but they didn't get fucked.
No it isn't, Germany had the EU and post-Soviet states to help buffer the effects of it. Japan was on its own

>>211965003
Idk. Countries like Poland used to be synonymous with corruption a mere 25 years ago. They have very trustworthy instutions these days. There's some outliers in EE but that's the general trend most everywhere

>>211964756
Growth in this era means collapse

>>211965419
well, why are you asking us, you have Koreans who are exactly in the same situation next to you

>>211965392

>>211965576
Koreans civilized japs tho

>>211965419
Probably related to politic climate around it with the european union or maybe is because of how much they were fucked up by commies

>>211965636
yeah, and Poles founded Berlin o algo

>>211965518
>>211965096
I don't think they suddenly change that fast because slavs are considered "untermenschen" for 2,000 years by Germanic tribes. It's not like we think aliens will attack us because of hollywood movies, but they are literal neighbors for 2,000 years.

>>211965419
>and it's fact you guys didn't accomplish anything even though neighboring one of the most developed civilization.
this is exactly why we didn't accomplish anything - because everything was already invented by western Europeans so why would we rediscover the wheel instead of borrowing it?

it's the same with Japan after all, why you didn't invent your own, totally independent script but borrowed one from China? Same with religion, philosophy etc. Basically everything you have is borrowed from China and it's logical since Chinese were much more advanced than you, there was no point to waste time and effort to invent something that was already done by someone else

>>211965690
>Since the Korean Peninsula was the cultural bridge between Japan and China throughout much of East Asian history, these influences have been detected in a variety of aspects of Japanese culture, including technology, philosophy, art, and artistic techniques.
>From the mid-fifth to the late-seventh centuries, Japan benefited from the immigration of people from Baekje and Gaya who brought with them their knowledge of iron metallurgy, stoneware pottery, law, and Chinese writing.

>>211965638
Slavs were even more fucked up before Russians decided to introduce western civilization to them.

>>211965732
>I don't think they suddenly change that fast
So you mean Koreans also didn't change at all lately because you considered them lower than yourselves for the last 1000 years?

>>211965743
>>211965576
Why do you love to compare Japan, Korea and China relationship with Germanics and Slavs relations?

East Asian relations are more similar to UK, France and Germany relationship. You can pick up some period each civilization was better than others but we were basically equal. Germans for Slavs are more like East Asians for SEAs. SEAs never conquered or influenced East Asia, do you understand it?

You're only saying it now because S. Korea is doing better than you currently and you don't want to lose your face. But if you said something like this 60 years ago, your own countrymen would laugh their asses off. "Korea equal to Japan, hahahaa"

Iran is a model country for Japan.

Their economy transitioned into an economy of finance, the Yen may have crashed and they lost a lot of their base manufacturing but their business and political elite still enjoy a seat at the table with assets stored in Wall Street and the City. The American project is for the explicit domination of finance capital and for the "developed world" to be arrested in a state of services and high capital-intensive specialized industry resistant to labor organizing. We're declining too, the middle class has lost a ton of purchasing power over the years and its very obvious that our federal government is ossified and state governments have been subsumed by the paegantry of national politics and ever-expanding companies. This is what happens when the bankers run the show

>>211967445

You are quite literally seeing this play out in real time with Ukraine and Iran. Imagine if one of the great breadbaskets of the world was integrated into EU markets, imagine if the neocons got their way and put the Shah back in power to make Iran face the West.

Japan mogs Europe

Companies power level
- Japan: $6.9T [Population: 120 million]
- Euronext: $5.8T (France, Italy, Netherlands, Portugal, Belgium, Norway, Ireland) [Population: 130 million]
- UK: $3.5T [Population: 70 million]
- Germany: $3T [Population: 80 million]

Japan's $6.9T market cap is double Germany’s $3T, which will upset GDP purists. Japan punches above its weight in corporate scale, and investor participation.

Japan won the steel industry.

Steel industry earnings (2024)
- Nippon Steel (JP): $5.47 billion
- ArcelorMittal (EU): $3.93 billion
- Nucor (US): $3.13 billion
- Tenaris (EU): $2.88 billion
- Steel Dynamics (US): $2.03 billion
- POSCO (KR): $2.03 billion
- JFE Holdings (JP): $1.99 billion
- Tata Steel (India): $1.83 billion
- Bao Steel (China): $1.50 billion
- US Steel (US): $0.43 billion
- Cleveland-Cliffs (US): -$0.58 billion

Nippon Steel beats its rivals in earnings, this is all because Japan produces more added-value special steel (e.g. high-tensile steel, electrical steel, 80kg rail steel). With the US Steel acquisition, Nippon Steel is only going to grow even more.

>>211969230
Sure, but is that exclusive to Japan?

Japan is on the reverse Plaza Accord.

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.

- Visual inspection: Keyence (JP) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7W5knmS-bxE
- Motors, reducers: Nidec (JP) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DH65xh_JK4I

Material handling is all about "Efficiency". The fact that Japan is its market leader tells how Japanese people work efficiently.
