@jasejj those "technical expertise" don't seem to translate to productivity. Japanese workers productivity is the lowest amongst industrial countries. They work hard and long hours but don't seem to create as much value as the US, European workers who work less and take more vacations.

Japan can keep reliving in their former glory.

@CRneu if Japan is so good, then why are they lagging behind just about every leading edge technology?

@KlodFather Nah.. Japan is a nation in decline. Most of them are so comfortable working in a dead end salaray man jobs. They don't like big changes or innovate, it hurts their brains. They are good at dedicating themselves to life long careers to ever perfecting their exissting old tech, or crafts. Yeah they do make some nice high quality stuff, but that adds little value compared to the breakthrough technological revolutions elsewhere in the world. Westerners like Japan for their art, culture, anime, and high quality food. But overall the Japan is in decline or stagnant at best.
