>japan's world gdp share in 1990: slightly less than 10 percent
>china's world gdp share in 2018: 15 percent
okay why didn't americans do nothing about them in the mid 2000's when they were on par with japan at their peak years?
why are american bureaucrats of foreign affairs so fucking dumb?

Tsinghua has surpassed Tokyo University and became the best uni in asia for more than half a decade
Henry Martin
Because Obama was useless
Lincoln Jenkins
because trump was useless
Oliver Myers
meme uni rankings don't mean shit
John Robinson
Because they provide slave labor without the bad feelings
Gabriel Bell
They tried to. Do zoomers not remember free Tibet in the 2008 olympics?
Also Obama started the pivot to Asia strategy.
Josiah Sanders
Who cares? Shoutout to Ishii Shiro.

It was a miscalculation on their part, theoretically having a hive of cheap labor and access to a large foreign market are very beneficial. And it some ways it did pay off, like when China bought US debts in 08. But as seen in history Thucydides trap is inevitable.
Angel Brown
RIP sweet prince.

uni rankings are only for whites, in whose uni people use english
what a joke it is

japan exports tech and china built other people's tech, so people were dependent of china.

America destroyed Japan in the 90s with the Plaza Accords. They couldn't do the same with China because China was not geopolitically aligned with them to the same degree that Japan was back in the 90s. It's not really a comparable situation.

THEY LITERALLY DESTROYED THEIR ECONOMY YOU DUMBASS

Holy kek, what do they learn there? How to shill CCP online?
Juan Martin
Because american corporations didn't wanted to pay americans to work on their factories, so they built factories in China.
As you know, corporations rule America
Charles Miller
how? they surpassed russia in gdp per capita this year
Oliver Ross
didn't know about the plaza Accords, I genuinely feel bad for japan on this one. Thanks for the info

Japan literally surpassed the American economy for some time during the boom years, omg.
Jaxon Russell
and what makes you think they would crush at any moment? that's what everyone has been saying for at least a couple of decades
Eli Ward
We need a shrine to honor our war god Shiro Ishii.
Imagine the unprecedented outrage from chinks over this. holy kek
Blake Martinez
Did you knew that the chinese wanted to start a war with America after the Bay of Pigs invasion? The soviets pussied out though, they were afraid of a nuclear war. For this the great chairman Mao rightfully accused them of cowardice.
Jaxson Ross
Chinese history is history of rising dynasties, golden age, and then complete collapse
This is true even in modern days
Cameron Watson
The US got itself into this situation and it is self-inflicted. China will not be as easy to destroy as Japan.
Oliver Brown
This is true to all nations in the world
Matthew Russell
>Japan literally surpassed the American economy for some time
When?
Oliver Thompson
Can someone pill me here? I remember some side effect of the plaza accord made yen appreciate to an absurd degree and the japanese gdp reached american levels briefly. Anyone remember something about that?
Michael Cook
>China will not be as easy to destroy as Japan.
lol nice joke, chang. Go back to your country.

The US literally destroyed several of Japan's biggest industries and made them apologize in public. A lot of people don't remember it because it was 30-40 years ago. They're trying to do the same thing with China and Huawei too.
Jeremiah Morris
go back to ur muttland you sexpat

Major media publish regular reports about the Japanese refusing to have sex, and the large number of people in their forties who are still virgins. The “vagaries” of Japanese sexual life amuse outsiders. Manga (comics) and anime (animation) cater to fantasy by creating virtual worlds. People play pachinko (an arcade game like pinball, also used for gambling) for 18 hours a day. Girls in cute uniforms entice customers into maid-cafes, or perhaps to date joshi kosei (high school) girls.
International organizations beg Japan to listen to tear-jerking stories about Syria and Libya, and to show compassion. The Japanese are constantly reminded that if they want their old and infirm people to be looked after, they must allow immigration. While the population of Canada is 21% first-generation immigrant, and Australia 26%, Japan is still 98.5% ethnically Japanese.
According to the media and international organizations, Japan is on a path to self-destruction.
I have a very contradictory assessment of Japan. I am a huge fan. In Japan, I see the future of humanity. Perhaps Korea and China should be included in that vision of the future. South Koreans and Chinese—who might superficially dislike Japan—have eagerly copied Japanese ways. Japanese products are sold in abundance in East and Southeast Asia. All the way to Malaysia and Singapore, people look for models to Japan and now increasingly to South Korea, which copied its economic miracle from Japan.
I explain my views on Japan in details, and why I disagree with the international organizations and the media in the linked article.
