Japan is in a bad shape, all the economic indicators are going haywire.

It doesn't have anything to do with Spain.
It's because Japan previously had monopoly on
-important chemical photoresist for microchip production
-machines that produce OLED displays
-extreme precision optics

But then Trump started a trade war in 2018 an forbid China from purchasing those items.
The Chinese said
>go fuck yourself Trump, We don't need those sources anyway, we will fuck up all your vassals
7 years later <-you are here in this timeline.
Japan has lost all 3 monopolies to China.
And China is now scarier than ever to the MAGAmurricas.
