Farmland based conomy won't work out for the japs, unless you reduce thir population from 100 million to 20 million.

>Japan has had decades upon decades of stagnate wages that hasn't kept up with inflation.
This Anon is correct. Japan's middle class is in t process of hollowed out.

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.
