Japan is a net trade deficit country, Korea and Germany may experience trade deficit in a month or two, but both are still largely trade surplus countries.
Korea has has net trade deficit for almost a year:

A company needs sufficient sales and revenue to continue and expand, sales money will pour back into quality contral and innovation, being squeezed out of the mainstream market with insufficient revenu, your days will be numbered,
Trade surplus or deficit countries are gauged on yearly basis, Germany and Korea are still trade surplus countries.
Again, as long as TV enthusiasts exist, we will keep buying hi tech stuff from Panasonic.
Well, Korea already has trade deficit for a year so it counts, Germany is basically next year then, no worry.
TV enthusiasts ？ how many of them and how do you define them? a huge company needs lots of sales to support its staff and manufacturing, you do know this , don't you?
TV enthusiasts are people who have money to spend on the highest quality TV. These guys buy online and pre-order.
If they can't have mainstream market, they'll have to downsize their staff and operation cost to the bone, that will make them out of business very soon, you know how Korean and Chinese companies pour huge sum of the sales money into research and innovation to keep up with the tech time, don't you? Japanese are still using floppy disks today, this is how far behind they are lagging in today's high tech time.
LDP is Japan's DPP,Well, Abe is just killed so maybe. Shinzo Abe was a boomer conservative who guts Japan's fundamental research for cheaper tourist money.
There's a big chance that current PM Fumio Kishida will be removed somewhere in 2023 due to his unpopularity, and Taro Kono, the current digitalization minister, will become PM.
This guy is the most unusual and technologically advanced politician of the LDP.
Would be interesting to see how we would steer Japon.
Yet Sony and Sharp still make phones, while LG doesn't make phones anymore. Weird, huh?
Not really, LDP is a hedgehodge of parties and it has many factions.
How many they sell and how much revene they make from their phones?
products don't speak for themselves, market and sales do.

But how much? is that sustainable, again, no matter how much you claim how good they are, it's your personal thing, the market and sale decide how far a company can go. this is common sense.Sony is actually making a profits with their phone strategy.Sony is finally starting to sell more Xperia phones
Sony smartphone revenue grew by approximately 25% in Q2 2021, according to the latest financial report by the Japanese company
And yeah, I care about quality of the products, not their sales or a market shae. I'm a customer, not a marketer.
By 2022, it's still making a profit so it's indeed sustainable. In fact, this is a turn-around for more than 4 years.
Did kishida's faction shift from pro US line? It's hellbent on militarization ,for what? to aid US efforts in the containment of China and defend Taiwan if necessary.LDP has infused deeply with Washington ,through Wallstreet,thinktanks and various CIA meddling.LDP is stacked with CIA compromised shills,that talk precisely the same as a Whitehouse spokesman would. But than this phenomenon is also present across all political parties in every US allied nation ,the perks of being US ally; or more like compromised vassals.
Kishida:
