Japan doesn't seem to have a bright future. Its policies is subject to US strategy change infulence. And Japan lags behind in almost every newest technology. Especially the EV field. How bad Japan's economy will be if it loses car industry

But Japan products are expensive which is problematic.

It's like being robbed.
