In fact, there are two main reasons for this.Japan is an island nation with extremely limited resources; although it has a powerful industrial base, it lacks key commodities such as minerals and oil. A trade embargo could very easily lead to Japan’s industry grinding to a halt. During the Second World War, trade sanctions were the primary reason Japan went to war with the United States.Secondly, Japan has fallen into a ‘rat utopia’ scenario.A population of 100 million is severely excessive relative to Japan’s land area and food production capacity. This overpopulation has led to a lack of resources for young people to start families, causing them to abandon the idea of having children. The problem of an ageing population is significant.China, South Korea and even Vietnam face the same predicament, but due to historical and political reasons, Japan can find almost no way out of this predicament.Economic decline and an ageing society have led to a shift towards the far right among Japan’s youth.For when one sees no hope for the future, war becomes the only path forward. Even if it is a suicidal choice.
>>534662863For some reason, people who talk about this tend to compare the current situation to 1995, but at that time, the yen had appreciated to the 70-yen-per-dollar range, which simply meant that the dollar-denominated figures were higher. This was not because the Japanese economy was performing well, but rather due to an earthquake that struck Japan.Comparisons to 1995 are often made to “portray” Japan as if it were in decline.
>>534665278Kek Japan in 1995 about nominal gdp of 535 billion yen for his years Japan gdp did not grow so much but and moving with growths of 3% or 2% nominal and stagned after 1996 by example México nominal gdp x5 by 1994 1,8 billon to 7,1 billon by 2000 this is increase of x3,75 this is caused for high inflation of period
>>534666266It’s only natural that developing countries are growing, since they have more room for growth than developed countries.Furthermore, rapid inflation is bad because it only makes life harder for people.Inflation of around 2% is considered ideal.
>>534663659At that point why not enact some more socialistic policies and sort of wait it out until the older generation dies off?
>>534662863Japanese boomers sold their countries future for literally hundreds of years so they could live like royalty for a decade. I know American boomer have done this too but they didn’t sacrifice the entire economy to do so, aka the work culture in japan is way worse so young japs are working longer hours for less pay in a stagnant economy that hates startups and which shuns you if you have independent thought.

>>534662863It's other countries catching up to JapanJapan has advantage of dense population which drastically decrease infrastructure related cost and straight up way to deliver their goods to US with no straits/channels toll etcBut as said earlier Japan heavily relies on resource import and it could set higher margin (and get more profit) thanks to cheap resources back than
>>534668933>socialistic policiesMate, Japan is a US colony.There’s no way they’d let them dabble in anything remotely resembling socialism or communism.Japan isn’t even allowed to engage in close cooperation with China.I remember the Japanese government once tried to set up a free trade zone with China and South Korea.Then a left-wing Japanese politician was assassinated, Shinzo Abe came to power, and he provoked a major incident over the Senkaku Islands that infuriated China.As a result, Japan ultimately had no choice but to go down the path of war.
