  • The Lesson From Japan [View article]
    The weaker Yen will help the exporters, but trade was not Japan's problem until this year. The weak Yen reduce people's savings and that will not increase people's consumption. If Japan's growth is at someone else expense, it will not be long lasting.

  • The Real Experiment That Is Being Carried Out In Japan [View article]
    I do not understand Japanese politicians if I live to be a hundred. Why do they make stupid remarks and worship war criminals. If that is how they can get elected, I do not understand Japanese voters.

    I do not believe the weaker Yen will increase Japanese standard of living.

    Not having enough workers is not a problem anywhere even in places where the population is decreasing. Over population is the biggest problem for poor countries.

    Chinese export to Japan drop due to Yen weakness.
    Is that the reason or is there other reasons?

    China's wage grew sharply. China has a lot of catch up to do. The average wage in the US is more than 6 times that of China.

    Neither Japan nor China have a shortage of workers. Unemployment and under employment are much bigger problems than shortage of workers.

    If Japan invade N Korea, Japan will have to take on both Russia and China.
    Japan has no military options.

    For over 30 years, Chinese looked up to Japan until 2 years ago. Until 6 months ago, China imported more from Japan than any other country including the US. China and Japan were great trading partners. That changed only after Japan nationalized the Diaoyu islands.

    Japan has a choice to stay friendly with its 3 neighbors. If Japan does that, it could get energy and other raw materials from Russia, cheap labor from China, and fair competition from S Korea. But Japan think it is better than them.

    Japan has 3 enemies, S Korea, China and Russia. Japan will not likely want to fight Russia. China is not militarily strong, but China is not the China 70-120 years ago. S Korea is an ally of the US, so Japan will not want to touch S Korea.
    Japan has no military options.

    If the Yen goes to 200, how many Japanese will be happy about their savings now worth 1/2 of what it was?
