Akihito apologizes for aggression and orders Abe to Beijing on anniversary of surrender to China

[TaiShang]

Looks like the Emperor likes to play some political games not to be outdone by Mr. Abe.

Does not seem authentic.

 

[opruh]

Abe-san needs to accept the fact that japan will continue to decline while China continues to rise up.

And both need to understand that integration and friendship will make them both rise even quicker.

You just overestimated the level of Japanese politicians.

I think the Japanese know very well. Smart bunch. It's probably a mix of outside pressure and past pride that stops them from a full blown rapprochement. Sad really.

Although what you said is right to some extent, but the low quality and short-sight of Japanese politicians elected through their questionable democracy system is the most important reason for Japanese economic failure of tens of years.

Well, aside from those 'economic failures', which has some merit, we have to understand that Japan is at the very peak of it's economic power. There is no more room to grow. This is it. Because their economy isn't completely free like the US, or mostly free like Europe, but they are a full blown export and high tech economy. They don't really trade in two ways, just in one way. Look at how many foreign cars there are in Japan, and how many in the US. This is the economic model Japan chose, and the peak level of wealth and exports has been reached. That's the main reason they're not growing any more I think. Little domestic consumption, maximum exports and high tech innovation. So unless all of Africa starts buying Toyotas, they've reached their limit.

Em, Their political system is the biggest limit to their development and is the main role in Japan's failure. They failed to upgrade their own industry of most fields. If they can reform their political system appropriately, their situation will be much better. Now the China is rising and upgrading industry of any fields, Japan is declining and stagnating in upgrading and unwilling to reform, the competition between China and Japan will very very fierce, that is the main core of the reason that the relation worsened, and they see us as their poke in their meat. So you can see who is the obstacle of the progress of history. As for the example you set, when China finishes the transformation from seller's market to buyer's market, Japan's automobile will be destroyed like their household appliance industry and their mobile phone industry. Anyone who is unwilling to face the harsh reality and obstacle the progress of the world deserve to be crushed by the wheel of history.

Yeah okay but it's not a zero sum game. I mean isn't that how it works? At first a country surpasses you, but later on you can grow together, or profit from that country surpassing you. Japan's cars are still miles ahead of China's. So if Japan quite being a d1ck politically, couldn't they profit from bigger market access in China? Just an example.

 

[Magi Brahmin]

His Imperial Majesty's interest in China seems to be passed onto the Crown Prince, Imperial Highness Prince Naruhito. Imperial Highness Prince Naruhito has regularly rebuked right wing ultranationalism as well as proponents of wartime revisionism in the right wing. Tho the Uyoku Dantai (Right Wing) have not responded to the remarks of Imperial Highness Prince Naruhito, knowing full well that he will ascend the Imperial Throne when the Emperor passes this world.

One can expect that Japan under the Era of Naruhito would be more positivist and cooperative with China. One thing is also evident is that Imperial Highness Prince Naruhito is not too particular with the US military bases in Japan. So, we will see how his rule will mean translate for Japan's policies in real-time.



Correct. The Emperor has also visited not just China, but also South Korea in attempts to bring understanding of Japan's rule of Korea during the Colonial Epoch. Imperial Majesty has relatively maintained continuity of his late father, The Showa Emperor in regards to the regret and remorse of Japan's war time activities in Asia.

JAPAN visits China's Great Wall.

THE EMPEROR JAPAN visits China,

His Imperial Majesty the Emperor Akihito and Her Imperial Highness the Empress Michiko visits Xi'an

the great mosque of Xi'an ??

China has been the biggest manufacturer of cars of the world, and manufactures over 50 million car every year, although a bunch of brand is foreign. The situation of China's automobile market is just like the situation of mobile phone before ten years, or better. The competition of the manufacturers inside China will be fiercer and fiercer, a bunch of domestic enterprises will be knocked out from the market, but the winners of survival will be the dominator of the world. We always are advocate of cooperation with Japanese, and the ball always is in the hands of Japanese, but they dare not challenge the Europeans and Americans by upgrading industry and turn around to suppress the rising of China and Korea, they are willing to be the obstacle of history. The value of industry of Japan has shrink to the level of their 80s, their automobile market will face the situation their mobile phone makers has faced sooner or later. They want to suicide, even the god cannot stop.

 

[somsak]

Emperor wording and tone overwrites priminister's. Isn't it that way in Japan?

 

[IR-TR]

China has been the biggest manufacturer of cars of the world, and manufactures over 60 million car every year, although a bunch of brand is foreign.

60 milllion cars? Are you nuts? China manufactures some 20-22 million cars a year, which is about 25% of world production and is a LOT more than the number 2, which is about 12 million cars a year. That being said, the most technologically advanced cars (aside from electric) are the Western/Korean/Japanese brands, but the Chinese brands are catching up quickly. That being said, if you pretty much deny Japanese participation in your economic miracle, why would they want to cooperate? Not that this is the actual situation, but just hypothetically speaking.

Japan needs to become Asian again. For this, perhaps China needs to give it a carrot. I believe they'll turn around. Carrot like a FTA, investment agreement, a China-Korea-Japan economic space? Perhaps a single currency down the line?

Maybe my figure is wrong, but the real production capacity will surpass 50 million per year 2015, maybe the availability lower.
For Japanese issue, what you should know is that the time when the relation worsened is just the time of the key stage of the discourse of the China-Japan-Korea trilateral FTA. The so-called nationalization of Diaoyu Islands of Japan government interrupted the process directly. Even now the ball always is in the hands of Japanese, we Chinese are the most practical people. Turn around? Anytime Japanese feel real painful, they may turn around, however their strength will quite weaker than the current. As a normal people, it is hard for you to understand the paranoid of Japanese's deep mind.

True what you say. And you answered them well with the China-Korea FTA, it left them out. I bet Japanese businesspeople/companies are burning down their parliament begging them to do something about it (meaning concluding a FTA with you guys). It's sad really. Their entire government is taken hostage by foreign interests. I think the Japanese got over their past superiority already.
