>keeps devaluing their currency against other foreign currencies like the dollar and the euro
>bitches and moans about overtourism
what the fuck is their problem?

People here still think they are a developed country

Well the government policy and how the people react could be different

>Yess yess...buy our manufactured goods Gaijin. What? You want to visit our country too? NOOOOO we can't speak decent Engrish to accommodate you all

>>212917290
>the massive overtourism reaction to making your country dirt cheap to visit was totally unexpected

>>212917323
I mean the Japanese government may want to boost tourism but the JAPANESE people may not like it.

>>212917359
they voted for it

>>212917389
>if you voted for someone you need to suck up their every mistakes and faults
Stop with those retarded mentality and baits abusing it. It's not even funny anymore

>>212917227 (OP)
it's Euros and US that have problems.
We don't have to/mustn't raise the interest rate that much because the tendency of inflation isn't as strong as in the west. = financial companies deposit more money to the western banks, which raises euro and dollar against yen.

>>212917434
your own finance minister said your fiscal situation is worse than greece's lmao
the actual reason is that raising rates would kill your country because it's drowning in debt

And it's working well

>>212917476
our government is trying to have our debt look worse than the reality to charge us with more tax.
In fact, our debt is virtually nothing to play catch between the government and the central bank.
why should we deactivate our economy by adjusting our interest rates just to follow the foreign economic turmoil?

>>212917592
wow devaluing your money makes stocks go up in your own currency?
crazy, you should check the venezuelan stock index

>>212917609
>devaluing your money makes stocks go up
Yes

>>212917590
Pretty sure we're working on it.

>>212917601
Japan is literally the most indebted nation in the world, so much so that 1.6% 10Y bond yields is making your government freak out

Looks like you're dead wrong. Nice try to fearmonger with sensationalists headlines made to get clicks and you fell for it.

Their currency is going back up because Trump has fucked up Western economies with his retarded policies

the current jap pm is massively hated by japs

That's every Japanese PM. Those niggas can't let a PM last for more than 1 year.

I'm just complaining about illegal immigrants though.

>>212917251
Hi gaijin-san
It's the time to go back to your nice country.

>>212917227 (OP)
We Japanese are just complaining about illegal immigrants though.

>>212918455
Japan has a high population density, so it tends to get crowded.

>>212918688
that's a bit complicated
almost all japanese pms have big fluctuations in their approval ratings depending on their stance on the rivalry and conflict with south korea
the current jap prime minister is friendly with south korea
and he had a corruption scandal
also the japanese economy is not recovering well, and because he was treated badly in the us by trump, japs are very dissatisfied with him

>>212917227 (OP)
You devalue your currency to stay competitive in manufacturing exports, which is the same reason why Trump wants the dollar devalued. Even though it makes zero fucking sense considering the dollar is the reserve currency

>>212918783
and above all, the current jap prime minister seems quite incompetent
he has failed to come up with an effective policy to quell the absurd rice price hike controversy caused by japan’s agricultural cooperatives

>>212918849
He should just import more rice from the US.Oh wait, the tariffs...

>>212918861
no
they don't like american rice
they import rice from south korea

>>212918909
Whats wrong with American Rice®?

>>212918929
this is probably about familiarity and similarity
usually, when south koreans travel abroad, if there is no korean restaurant, they eat at a japanese restaurant, and when japanese travel abroad, if there is no japanese restaurant, they eat at a korean restaurant
maybe we are comfortable with each other's food, atmosphere
so it would be right to describe it as familiarity

The world owes Japan

>>212918826
>which is the same reason why Trump wants the dollar devalued. Even though it makes zero fucking sense considering the dollar is the reserve currency
Their position on the US currency is incredibly incoherent. We can't have both a devalued currency and a reserve currency. On the other hand, no other major economy wants their currency to be the reserve currency. Not Europe, Japan nor China, and certainly not any of the large emerging markets like Brazil, India or Nigeria.

>>212917429
this is why korea and japan will never be real democratic countries. although your political culture is just a mingling of feudalism and american reality tv politics so it can't be helped.

>>212919195
Well someone could have voted for the pro-tourism party for their other manifestos. And even when an individual supports tourism believing it will be good for the country, when they are directly exposed to rude tourists they can hold personal distaste.

>>212919300
stop taking bait from chinese posters.

>>212917429
just vote better next time, and remember that you own part of the outcome

>>212917227 (OP)
Japan is doing fine, you need to stop watching western media.

>>212917227 (OP)
Maybe those who are bitching about overtourism are not the ones who control the currency

But you know what? What's actually scary is how gaijins are bitching about Japs bitching about overtourism
There are unironically anti-tourist protests in Europe which never happemed in Japan yet
But you only go after Japan, Japan, Japan
Literally zero fairness

>>212917227 (OP)
You are absolutely right and at least online jap right fully supported the "QE" policies of Abenomics(boj yen printer go brrr) and even now the hag they consider Abe's successor and worship as their aidoru, Takaichi, calls herself an MMT devotee, literally Japanese AOC
Whining about inflation and overtourism when you voted for the LDP is like shitting your pants and not expecting it to stink, it was their core policy and if they didn't like voting for liberals they had the choice of voting for a "far right" meme party or not voting at all, they are complicit and should not try to avoid responsibility

>>212917592
I didn't know Bridgestone was japanese

>>212921624
No, not really
1. most of those who are bitching about tourists don't understand the economy at all
2. bitching about tourists is not just a right-wing thing
3. most of far-right Japs no longer support LDP

>>212922067
I was talking about the low iq retards who were enthusiastic about the Abenomics scam from the beginning and are only now pretending to distance themselves from it, it's literally a shirking of responsibility
And as I understand it, netouyos still give Takaichi their full support and are hoping that she will leave the LDP or take over the LDP, but I hardly visit the Japanese internet since Ishiba became PM, so that may have changed

>>212922219
>I was talking about the low iq retards who were enthusiastic about the Abenomics scam from the beginning and are only now pretending to distance themselves from it, it's literally a shirking of responsibility
Now that makes sense but in reality, most of those who were suppoting LDP for right-wing talking points probably didn't even know what Abenomics actually was. They are that retarded.

>And as I understand it, netouyos still give Takaichi their full support
They still exist but not even the majority of netouyos. LDP's approval rating is like 25%, now there are two ''more right-wing'' parties and they have like 10% combined in political party support ratings
So I think it's safe to say most far-right Japs no longer support LDP

>>212922595
S even if Takaichi founded a new party or joined Sanseito or the Conservative Party, the "far right" japs wouldn't support her anymore?

>>212923053
>Takaichi founded a new party or joined Sanseito or the Conservative Party
That's really not realistic now. The worst scenario is-
>LDP loses lots of seats
>Takeuchi replaces Ishiba for that
>Takeuchi teams up with those two parties and they become part of the new LDP
If this happens, basically all netouyos will support her

>>212923313
>Takeuchi
*Takaichi

Are you retarded? Japanese debt only gone up since that time

How about Koike? My tokyoites friend is a big supporter. Is it just me or split between Tokyo and the rest of Japan is kinda growing. Almost feel like different countries.

>>212923464
well, ''Japan is literally the most indebted nation in the world'' and ''it's worse than greece's'' is absolutely misleading at least and it won't easily go in crisis because this >>212918529 is still true

>>212923769
She once tried to be a big player in a national election but failed. I think it's too late for her to be PM.

>>212923900
Why? Because she is a woman?

while spaniards and their mexican relatives are already seen as loud boorish communists who complain about everything

>There are unironically anti-tourist protests in Europe which never happemed in Japan yet

There's way more criticism towards Europeans being against tourism then the Japanese being against tourism. Have you perhaps thought that you're only being fed opinions against Japan by the algorithm because you're Japanese?
