Japan's Economic Growth Fizzles Out In Second Quarter

If the CAP 1400 design belongs to Westinghouse, how can China export the nuclear plant on her own?
The consultation by Westinghouse for CAP 1400 is almost negligible. I seriously doubt a rival will help China to crush their own market.

CAP 1400 is largely a Chinese effort. The fact is obtain IAEA approval proves something.

When did I say CAP 1400 is not Chinese. Read my comment again, and try to point it out.

What I said is that AP 1000 is a Westinghouse design. Two separate reactors.

And did I not say that China is rising in its nuclear industry?

But, at current point, the only Chinese designed reactor is in drawing board, approved by IAEA. While Japanese have been building and operating those reactors for some time now.

I don't trust those biased rankings made by the western media.

Japan is more competitive than China? Come on, everyone with a brain can clearly see that Japan is already a dead fish.

The western media is afraid that more developing countries will abandon the western political idea, that's why they are doing everything to belittle China's economic/political model.

This thing is not a result of western media who can be biased.

This is an exhaustive academic study, which measures a lot of concrete variables like patent applications, R&D Budgets, etc. and then take out the ranking.

Also, this is NOT a gross ranking. Why else would Switzerland top the list?

China appears ahead in gross output than Japan, but Japan is still quite a bit ahead of China in quality and per capita measures.

Also, the WIPO director Francis Gurry is a HUGE fan of China and Korea and their performance. He is always full of praise.
 
Exactly. We still have a hell lot of way to take until reaching the top ten status.

That's the reason China's leadership stresses almost habitually that China is a developing nation with enormous task of national rejuvenation. It has nowhere to be completed.

In its aggregate power, to the outsider, China appears to be strong, and it is, but, for individual persons living the China reality in China, the country is a developing one.

The greatest danger is complacence and China's leadership keeps reminding that.

(From last year, China progressed 4 ranks in innovation, but definitely not enough. I guess, by 2020, we will be in the top 15, if not top 10. The trick is in the successful implementation of 13th 5-Year Plan).

China among top 25 most innovative economies

China is the first middle-income country to join the ranks of the world's top 25 innovative economies, a joint report by Cornell University, INSEAD and the World Intellectual Property Organisation (WIPO) revealed Monday.

Ranked 25th in 2016, up from 29th a year ago, this year's Global Innovation Index (GII) ranking mirrors China's improved performance in this domain, WIPO Director General Francis Gurry explained.

"This is in keeping with all the developments that we have seen in China in recent years, including the use of innovation as a major component in the transition of the Chinese economy from 'made in China' to 'created in China'," he said.

Findings also outline that a wide gap continues to permeate the innovation divide between developed and developing countries across the world.

According to the report, slower growth in emerging economies after the 2009 financial crisis, combined with more stringent research and development (R&D) budgets in high-income countries remains a source of concern.

"Innovation is a very fundamental phenomenon which is responsible for a large number of social and economic benefits," Gurry highlighted.

"In the current environment, innovation assumes particular significance because of its potential to open up new avenues of economic growth... the connection between innovation and economic growth has now been a matter of standard economic theory for decades," he added.

Traditionally dominated by highly-developed countries, this year the ranking sees Switzerland, Sweden and Britain as the top three most innovative economies in the world, with 15 of the top 25 economies in the GII located in Europe.

According to this year's figures, four countries stand out in terms of "innovation quality", namely Japan, the United States, Britain and Germany.

This top-level metric looks at the calibre of universities, the number of scientific publications and international patent filings.

When looking at this indicator, 2016 has seen China move up to 17th place globally and first amongst middle-income countries, ahead of India and Brazil.

Historically speaking, this, together with China's widespread innovation ascendency, should come as no surprise, Gurry said.

"Until 1800, China was preeminent in science and technology... this is a renaissance rather than a naissance," he stressed.

According to experts, China's innovation outlook has witnessed systemic improvements in all areas since the GII came into being in 2007.

This holds particularly true in terms of the number of patents and licenses issued and the marked increase in innovation quality.

The GII is a leading benchmark based on 82 indicators used by business executives, policy makers and others who wish to gain a holistic insight into the state of innovation across the world.

World Intellectual Property Organisation (WIPO) data are purely objective, no subjective views at all, it's definitely a credible source. I recommend their latest publication on global indicators:

But Cornell University, INSEAD? Giving an "index"?

Many of those benchmarks are silly.....

Even wikipedia and youtube become benchmarks, very amusing, well it's a party thrown by western folks, what do we expect?

For the record, Westinghouse build many of their 1st generation nuclear reactor for Japan and 80% of Japanese nuclear reactor were built in the 1970s. Toshiba didn't acquired Westinghouse until 2007. Japan didn't build anything. That is why when the Fukushima nuclear reactor went KABOOM, they rushed to call in US experts for help. A simple help such as getting the proper cooling chemical to deliver to Japan. LOL

Yep, totally amusing index.
I recommend next time, in order to make India's ranking look good,introduce an index called Quora input. That website is full of mouth cannoning.

Japan Abe is the real fault. Japanese must kick him out of office.

70年代,日本经济腾飞,首相田中角荣出身寒门,只有小学文化水平,没有任何背景和门阀,靠着自己的努力一步步爬上日本首相的位置。在位期间和中国建交,和苏联关系正常化,为了对应石油危机,频频和阿拉伯国家往来,得罪了以色列损害了美国石油商的利益。国务卿基辛格访问日本时要求日本放弃资源外交政策,结果被田中角荣一句:美国能给日本需要的石油么?呛的哑口无言。结果,几个月以后,文艺春秋爆出田中角荣受贿的丑闻,披露洛克西勒公司给日本行贿30亿日元,其中田中受贿5亿。要说田中角荣是非常会做人的,和所有媒体都保持非常好的关系,但文艺春秋居然突然爆发,而且掌握确实的证据,很多人猜测就是美国给了足够的证据。
之后的检查方的举动就更是耐人寻味了,追着田中角荣受贿的5亿日元不放,而对其他的25亿的中间人儿玉誉士夫不闻不问。这导致了田中角荣这位首相的下台,以及之后终身官司缠身。

2001年的小泉纯一郎,在首相位行事大胆,开创了二战以后为了通过邮政民营法案罢免大臣的先例,但由于所有政策都和美国同步,美国让他干啥就干啥,所以小泉顺风顺水,就算有未交年金事件或经济问题日本警方也不闻不问,平安的度过了5年首相位置。

2009年,小泽一郎作为民主党党首,最有机会在当年的选举中胜出当首相。当时美国国务卿希拉里想和小泽见面小泽不见。因为小泽很讨厌美国,作为是田中角荣提拔上来的政治家经历过当年的田中角荣受贿时间。美国知道小泽不好控制,在选举之前几乎同样的方式,揪出小泽曾经拿过当地建筑公司的钱,直接就迫使小泽辞去民主党党首职位,让给了鸠山。


鸠山太幼稚,觉得自己家大业大,有钱有势,在台上公开反美亲中,过早的暴露了“中共地下党员的身份”。干了两件大事:其一就是取消了事务次官会议,消除官僚对日本政治的影响力。其二,废除了《年度改革建议书》。《年度改革建议书》是从1993年,宫泽喜一首相和克林顿总统会谈时候决定的。原本的意思是两国互相对对方国提出改革建议。但随后演变成了美国单方面对日本的改革指令书,日本没有拒绝的权力。而这份《年度改革建议书》,在鸠山内阁时代被废止,鸠山代表日本政府第一次对美国说了不。
结果,被媒体揪出老妈曾经给他6亿的零花钱没缴税,被媒体追着暴打。也辛亏这是他自己的钱,要是像田中角荣和小泽也肯定好不了,鸠山上台以后一直被骂国贼。

其他还有很多,但目前我就记得这些,可见,对于日本这样的民主国家,不用军事压力,只要看哪个不顺眼就利用美国CIA查他的底,哪个政治家没有点丑闻?然后让亲美的日本媒体大肆宣扬,他就死翘翘了,听话的政治家就好好养着吧。

看到其他有人反对我的言论,说我这样说是阴谋论。要我说,我举得例子根本不是阴谋,而是阳谋。是个人都能看的出来。

田中角荣的案件中,虽然文艺春秋揪出了田中角荣的丑闻,但在揪出丑闻以后一段时间里日本媒体是沉默态度,因为原文里也说了,田中角荣和媒体关系很好,大多数媒体都是沉默,并没有引起很大的波动。但美国又干了一件事情,两周之后,由外国记者俱乐部出面邀请田中角荣去访问,田中角荣以为只是一次普通的访问而已,结果这是精心设计的一个陷阱。副会长做主持人介绍田中的时候居然说:“我在这里没有必要介绍他的经历,对于首相的财产最新一期的《文艺春秋》已经做了介绍,首相的著作《日本列岛沉没》,对不起,是《日本列岛改造论》。。。。”
此言一出,所有记者都追问田中《文艺春秋》揭露出来的丑闻,第二天被所有报纸报道。才把这事弄得世人皆知。请问,要不是背后有指示,外国记者俱乐部吃饱了撑的干这事?更不要说披露出里面有些内容根本不是一般人可以搞到的信息。

安倍是不可能下台的...以前的安倍也没有那么反华,可惜日本是个被美国控制的国家…
