Japan has been overtaken by both Korea and China. Their population is old, they don't produce anything relevant anymore. Is the country doomed?
>>221169017Japan isn't doomed, they just hit the rock bottom and is ready to climb up again. Europe on the other hand...
>>221169070Yeah Europe is fucked too.
>>221169268I was just joking, bro. They say it's not over till it's over. Europe will overcome this troubled time. I believe in you.
>>221169017the entire 1st world is doomedthe economy is literally nothing but imaginary numbers propped up by global monetary policiesnothing has really grown since 2007
>>221169017HAHAHA!!
>>221169017Both South Korea and China, plus Hong Kong and Macau, have a lower fertility rate than Japan (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_total_fertility_rate?wprov=sfla1). China's unemployment rate, especially in the youth, is off the charts and their real estate sector, which is the one everyone invested in, is in freefall. South Korea has the highest suicide rate among all OECD countries. Japan is the only Asian country to have a city in the Economist liveability index, and in the top 20 too. Japan's Fanuc is the world's biggest manufacturer of industrial robots. Japan has a near-monopoly in photoresist, chemicals that are absolutely vital for the production of chips. And so on.
>>221170366*In the top 10
>>221169017Japan economy is doing so bad(for their standards) that they are having record breaking koreans marrying japanese women while barely any japanese men marries korean women, apparently 20 years ago it was the opposite It's over
>>221170213Pokemon sucks lately and is already pretty old.
>>221169017Was making the goyline go up worth it?
>line must go up
>>221170000Europe won't even be european anymore in no more than a couple generations.
>>221170366Its' proof that feminism ruined birth rate. Korea and China is a matriarchy society unlike Japan
>>221169017Imagine getting mogged by half of a country, a unified Korea would bend Japan over
>Japan is doomed
>>221169017What China and South Korea are producing is simple mass-produced goods, while Japan controls the core components.Without Japanese equipment and materials, they would be unable to manufacture semiconductors.Since these products are not sold directly to consumers, there is no need for promotion, which is why they are not widely known.
JAPAN WILL BE DOOMED IF THEIR POPULATION GOES FROM 120 MIL TO 80 MIL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
>>221173905That's fine. Until the Chinese decide to produce all that stuff themselves.
>>221169017Japan got curbstomped economically by U.S. through Plaza Accord. S. Korea also suffered currency crisis largely manufactured by Wall Street banks in 1997, but the effect wasn't as severe as Japan's Plaza Accord.
>>221170594old and sucks a lot? your mother.
>>221174063population alone is a very poor indicator of what is going on, it's the distribution that counts
Japan is OVER
>>221170487Based. Yeah, Korean men and Japanese women have the best, most intense sex. We are the perfect couple in 2026.
>>221173905Not true. Korea produces all the semi conductor components from scratch.
>>221174063Having a population where the average is 50+ years old means the majority of the country will vote for free gibs while fucking in the ass the young population kek
>>221174911Meanwhile in amurica
H-H-HOTTT
