Japan is fucking finished. They will just stagnate until they become a 3rd world nation. The decline of their technology is probably the biggest factor here. Japan has always relied on their tech edge to stay ahead of China, they don't have the economy and population to go toe to toe otherwise. 30 years ago, Japan was leading even America in many fields, today they have fallen behind is literally every field and China is ahead is almost every area.

Japan still has a strong presence in many technologies, but it's in old areas that they used to dominate in 30 years ago, they are surely but surely losing market share in this areas too. In almost every new emerging technology of the last 20 years, Japan hasn't even bothered. There's basically zero activity in the Japanese A.I sector for example. Even Europe is at least trying to get their tech sector back into gear, with some limited success. Japan is actively cancelling high level R&D projects due to lack of budget and restricting R&D efforts as they continue to fall further and further behind.

Your new chudettle deporting all the browns won't save Japan. Nothing short of inventing AGI first will save Japan at this rate.

They shot themselves in the foot by not accepting gaijin BVLLs in. Now they get infinity paneers instead. Sad!

Peter Zeihan is bullish on Japan and bearish on China. Very curious

>>519786158
Weird because Japan has alot of the same issues that China has, but a dozen times worse. But somehow he think that Japan is gonna to become the next superpower while China collapses.

>>519785850 (OP)
China is doomed too

>>519786481
Japan cancelled theirs outright. China is gonna work on the C919 for another fucking 20 years if they have to.

>>519786158
I'd take zeihan with a grain of salt.
You see low fertility rate in China means that there's not enough young people to work and therefore it will fall but also all the young people are unemployed and they'll make china fall.

Yes and?

East Asians are outperforming everyone else at maintaining homogeneous populations of triple-digit IQ races. If nothing changes, on a long enough timeframe, that alone will cause them to surpass the rest of the world. Basically do nothing, don't go extinct, and your competition will muttify themselves into primitive noncompetitor states.

>If nothing changes

That's the thing, technology changes a lot. Japan hasn't lost any technology, they just stagnated a lot while their competitors raced ahead. This technology gap has led to Japan falling behind badly in almost every area.

The more brown people any country imports, the more they turn into Brazil.

literally not the same, since C919 is flying and in service with multiple chinese airlines already, as well as being ordered by some foreign airlines as well.
COMAC in fact that so many orders and so little production capacity that they cannot keep up.

Japan, on the other hand, just gave up their much less capable regional jet (which isnt even in the same class as the C919) before it was ever handed to an airline.

Japan should go back to its east asian roots and join forces with other east asians instead of being a JEWSA slave..
