>Lost their robotics, shipbuilding, rockets, nuclear, electronics, construction, machine tool, chemicals, lithography, software, semiconductors, electronics, hydrogen, biotech, aviation industry>Failed to venture into any new technology for the last 30 years, all their remaining tech companies are decades old giants that are just coasting along on their old reputation and inertia, and are slowly dying off>They are not even bothering to try to develop new tech, there's still basically zero activity in the Japanese A.I industry for example>Even their education and R&D system is shit, with Japanese universities falling and falling further behind in the rankings every year, this days, it's rare to find a single Jap uni in the top 50 of various uni rankings>The government has no plans to reignite innovation, their only response to the crisis for the last two decade is to blame China/SK for their decline and trying to import even more and more jeets>All while their main regional rivals, China/SK, are racing ahead at full speed at all the emerging technology of the future. Japan is decaying hard. Technology is sole reason why they're relevant, and they're rapidly falling behind in literally every front. Otherwise they have nothing else. Their demographics and geography are shit , they have very little farmland or natural resources and they're surrounded by nuclear armed hostile states. Tech is the sole reason why they have been so successful over the last century, and they're basically losing everything across the board, with no plans to reignite innovation.There's basically zero areas of the cutting edge that Japan is leading in. Taiwan has TMSC, SK has Samsung and SK Hynix, America and China has dozens of leading edge companies in basically every field, even Europe has Airbus and ASML. Japan just has a bunch of old zombie companies, there's basically no new tech company from Japan in the last 30 years.
>>538147605JAPAN IS DOOMED
>>538147745good !!! first thing that jeeds to happened to destroy globohomo is the total destruction of the so-called "economy". it is this economy that pushes all the rest , they also call it gdp sometimes, but it is actually the economy. what Japan needs is that its people get striped down from comfort, that they will only get to eat rice, radish, and miso for 3 years to make them strong again. only hardship can save us
>>538147605everything "economy" needs to be destroyed, then globohomo will doe and the era of merchant is over.
>>538147605
>>538147605>2022nigger
>>538151631It has just gotten worse since 2022. Japan has missed out on the A.I boom in a big way, they cannot do software and their semiconductors are behind Taiwan, SK and China., they falling behind even faster now
>>538147605Kioxia will be holding Japan's economy up by itself soon I can't wait for the AI bubble to burst, then I can afford to buy used Kioxia drives for something reasonable
>>538147605Its all jews and amerkca. They manipulate the JCB to destroy the ministry of finance. Now the yen is kill and no job loyalty.
>>538151827see above post, it's not true, Kioxia is raking in revenue right now, their products are in very high demand>>538152045
Trust me, invest in semiconductor stocks.
>>538150045Thank God you understand. Fucking rich Gen X still out here buying new golf bags and teslas begging for Silicone Valley to partner with Hitachi
>>538152155>STONKZJesus Christ
>>538152083That’s just a single company, and another decades old giant at that. The A.I bubble is massive, the fact that Japan only has a handful of companies doing well, compared to the hundreds in China and SK that are supplying every single different layer of the semiconductor and electronic supply chain. Basically every single semiconductor related company is seeing record revenue, but Kioxia is nowhere near SK Hynix, Samsung, Mircon or YMTC/CXMT in terms of technology or global market share. The Chinese memory companies are doing so well that Chinese market share in the global market will more than double, from around 10% before 2022 to around 25% today.
>>538151827>Japan has missed out on the A.I boom in a big way,No Japan is doing fantastically. They're large producers of lithographic equipment and RAM.The physical requirements for data centers is where all the money in AI is. Everything else is just circular funding.
>>538152341>, compared to the hundreds in China and SK that are supplying every single different layer of the semiconductor and electronic supply chain.But China and South Korea don't have any control over the semiconductor industry. China is merely an emerging player and South Korea is basically doesn't participate. It's just Holland, Taiwan and Japan that matters for semis.
>>538152505true .. Japan is the sole supplier of ASML etching fluid consumables
>>538152341Also, 30% of Kioxia's stake is held by SK Hynix, literally its competitor.>>538152560>China and South Korea don't have any control over the semiconductor industryWhat are you even talking about? Memory is the king of semiconductor and South Korea dominates memory chips.
>>538147605Protip:Modern "tech" is using powerful computers to brute force software of increasingly poorer quality and optimization. MS Office from the 90s and MS365 do the same thing, but one requires a much more powerful PC and an annual subscription cost that is several times the price of the other. The innovation is all in finding new ways to suck more money out of the customer while making development as cheap as possible. There's nothing new in American tech. We have CEOs trying to sell knockoffs of the failed Google glasses from over a decade ago. The top dogs of the tech are out of touch to a point of insanity, they are successful because investors don't understand what they throw money at on any basic level.
>>538152721>Memory is the king of semiconductor and South Korea dominates memory chips....The Koreans buy in the semiconductors to manufacture memory devices. Japan is largely involved in the steps to produce those semiconductors.
>>538152818Adobe is fucked ... I wouldn't touch most of the old apps I used that demand subscriptions .. Reason, Ableton all going the same way as Microsoft .. it's all to bundle in shit you don't want to pay to use (mostly AI shit)
>>538147605All of japan's jobs are office oriented with the exception of their agriculture and fishing industries. To pivot to ai, they might as well install public suicide booths and encourage people to an hero. There's no benefit to it.
>>538152843>The Koreans buy in the semiconductors to manufacture memory devices. Japan is largely involved in the steps to produce those semiconductors.Japan barely benefits from manufacturing equipment and they're forever stuck with moderate operating profits unlike end producers like Samsung and SK Hynix. To give you some perspective, Japan's most valued semiconductor equipment producer DISC and TEL barely earned $2.36 billion in total last year, whereas Samsung and SK Hynix recored $38.6 billion and $27.1 billion in Q1 2026 respectively. You have no idea how hard Japan has lost its head start in the industry. The most valuable semiconductor equipment, the EUV lithography machine is manufactured by ASML in Netherlands, not Japan.
>>538152505Lithography is a very niche market, and even Japan has lost most of their market share to ASML. They just supply low end DUV machines now. ASML has a monopoly on high end DUV and EUV. > and RAM.Japan has under 1% of the global dram market.
>>538153139>Japan barely benefits from manufacturing equipmentYou don't control Lithographic printers when you buy them. You are in a permanent vendor contract, it's insanely profitable though ASML has market dominance Japan is not insignificant and gets very good business.
>>538153263>ASML has a monopoly on high end DUV and EUV.Which isn't what gets into memory...
>>538153263>Japan has under 1% of the global dram market.5% - 7% according to Google. Or are you not counting Micron?
>>538153139To add on to this, if you look at the Chinese memory players, CXMT is expecting a $50 billion usd profit this year, and they’re using the global ram shortage to basically double their share of the global market in under 2 years. Japan is doing well, but they not doing nearly as well China, taiwan or SK as I said. In addition to not earning as much money or market share, Japan’s tech is also not up to par with SK’s HBM or China’s 3d bonding technology. >>538153405Memory also needs lithography too. The point is that Japan has fallen behind hard, 30 years ago, they were a semiconductor juggernaut and controled much of the lithography market to boot. Lithography is very very important but it’s so niche that it pales in comparison to the trillion dollar combined semiconductor market. China will also be entering the DUV market soon and competing with Japan and ASML, where they will displace the low end Japanese DUV first.
>>538153538>China will also be entering the DUV market soon and competing with Japan and ASML, where they will displace the low end Japanese DUV first.Yeah they are at risk of that, I'm just pointing out that Japan isn't not profiting from the AI 'boom'. They're just way behind Korea.
>>538153373>You are in a permanent vendor contractWhat the fuck does this mean? Of course they can change suppliers as they're the largest consumers.>it's insanely profitableI just showed you how the top 2 most profitable semiconductor equipment companies in Japan barely earn 1/10 of what the 2 South Korean memory chip producers earn in just a single quarter respectively? Do you do the math?>Japan is not insignificant and gets very good business.Number says otherwise and Japan is not a sole producer of semiconductor equipment unlike in the 80s. They've already lost lithography and.
>>538153644many other fields.
>>538153461https://counterpointresearch.com/en/insights/global-dram-and-hbm-market-shareMicron is an American company, why would I count it for Japan?>>538153610They are, but if this was 30 years ago, they would basically be like Taiwan and SK and China combined, in how much of the semiconductor and electronics market that they controlled. Like I said, they have fallen from grace hard, not just in semiconductors, but literally every field of technology that you can think of.
>>538153644>What the fuck does this mean?Touch the machine in anyway without using corporate technicians will brick it and you'll have breached warranty. >Of course they can change suppliers as they're the largest consumers.Ah no? Semis are cartel.>I just showed you how the top 2 most profitable semiconductor equipment companies in Japan barely earn 1/10 of what the 2 South Korean memory chip producers earn in just a single quarter respectively? Do you do the math?Micron? Micron is American.
>>538153764>why would I count it for Japan?Micron Japan is it's own branch, but I can see why you didn't. Just clarifying.
>>538147605Nips were the inferior Asians all this time? I've been made a fool.
>>538153800>Touch the machine in anyway without using corporate technicians will brick it and you'll have breached warranty. >Ah no? Semis are cartel.Then explain why no one is using Canon's lithography machines as of now which used to dominate the global market. The consumers get to choose whatever they want if it's necessary. In this case, it's the end producers like Samsung, SK Hynix, and Micron. All of them are just vying for one goal: more profits.
>>538150045I grew daikon radishes one year because the seed package said they were big. They had no flavor. You should grow tastier radishes.
>>538153800>Micron? Micron is American.Are you being blind on purpose or are you in denial? Micron is only the 3rd largest memory producer at the moment. The top 2 are Korean; Samsung and SK Hynix.

>>538154259then yes, and an era of strong people. it is time to reject the merchant class
Japan is fucked. Westoids for whatever reasons simply do not report it.China is completely banning any rare earth export to JP.This will kill all of their industry that relies on those metals.

>>538157051everything that you said is positive, literally everything is what needs to happen for the country to be saved
It's because of their work culture.China has been poaching the shit out of Japanese engineers for a while now.One big issue in Japan is that you don't progress with merit, you progress with age.So if you're a great engineer, you won't get promoted in your 20's because that promotion will come in your late 40's at earliest, meaning you'll be locked out of better wages for decades.Not to mention the work environment is absolute ass. Unlike the older generations the youth isn't just bending over and taking it up the ass. They're leaving to work for Chinese companies that have far more relaxed work environment and access to higher wages.

>>538152721Samsung, SK hynix, and Micron—it’s all over for these three companies now that they’ve been caught illegally inflating priceshttps://www.tomshardware.com/tech-industry/samsung-sk-hynix-and-micron-sued-over-alleged-dram-price-fixing-amid-record-memory-costs
>>538152341The semiconductor industry was stagnant up to a few years ago, and it will probably go back to being unprofitable when the boom slows down. Samsung and SK Hynix were operating at a loss and Intel was thought to be doomed.Japanese companies play a large role in semiconductor manufacturing. There would be no semiconductor industry without Japanese companies making all the materials and components.Japan had their bubble back in the 80's and 90's so they are aware of the disasters when it pops. They don't want to get involved in another one. Their strategy of pursuing sustainable growth will pay off when this AI thing winds down.
