  3. Crimson, this video is mostly fiction. If you want to know the real history of Japan, find a real history channel.

  4. Stavros, you haven't a clue about the real Japan.

  5.  @saywhat664  what, the first part of your comment is somewhat true, the rest is not. . Of course Japan has tons of debt. But, as you rightly mentioned, it is mostly held by its own citizens. So a large portion of the citizens' wealth is measured in the country's own debt instruments. . China probaby has more people worth more in monetary terms than in Japan. i.e.: There are many, many more millionaries in China than in Japan etc. . Japan is not having enough babies to continue the current social structure for much longer. The idea of hard work is "good" is not as strong as it once was. It may come thru this all right, but the chances for catastrophic results are high.

  6.  @jwoongkaisinel4199  jwoong, Your point about the Japanese copying western technology is correct, but my point is still valid: "They didn't learn overseas technology like this video creator describes."

  7.  @crimsonnight824  Sure, Crimson. At first, I thot there might just be one or two inaccuracies that would be hardly worth mentioning, but seeing lots of them in just the first 2 minutes 3 seconds, I gave up. . 0:46 "Japan was the first country that managed to catch up with the other developed nations of its time". This is completely false, and even strange in its use of English. . 0:49 Actually, Japan never became an example for Greece. Korea and Taiwan were former colonies of Japan. . 1:20 Actually, the time is called the "Edo" period, not Tokugawa, altho that phrase is used in some situations. . 2:03 This lie was the back-breaker for me: "Japan was... fully aware of the outside world".Totally, completely, laughably false. I refuse to waste any more of my time on this, and feel sad for those who think they are learning something when actually they are being fed fiction. .

  8. This video's story is not of the real country of Japan.

  9. What is this video - a personal rewrite of a fictional country? It certainly has very little to do with the real country of Japan.

  10. Gatuarhin, please read a real history book of Japan some day soon. Almost nothing you mentioned is true.

  11.  @gatuarhin  Gatuarhin wrote this whopper: "the average Japanese person was far wealthier and better educated than in other countries". . Wonder which tik tok video you learned that tidbit from.

  12.  @gatuarhin  Gatuarhin, you get your talking points from unreliable sources, and then promulgate them here in this comment section. Is that fun for you?

  13.  @gatuarhin  Meiji was successful because Japan sent out a lot of their smartest to foreign countries to absorb knowledge, and bring it back to Japan. That's what they did in history with contact with China too. . The Japanese people are no doubt the best in the world at all toiling together for one common object. So when the govt. decided to introduce foreign things, the vast majority supported and worked towards doing that properly, instead of hamstringing the effort that you see in so many other countries.
