I find what you say odd. Japan does sell their Sanrio products abroad. They just don't direct sell. They indirectly sell... and through these companies... which is going to be another model, would not literally get the Japanese company into trouble. Look at Nissan. That was a telling point. Cos the guy did not managed the organisation's structures correctly. Sony is also another one as well. As was Sony Europe too. They have tried to expand abroad, but it did not work out. You guys are wrong there... They did this like 10 years ago already... And the truth ? The truth is that, Europe's continuous changing political climate.. The instability of the American market. Many countries already have too many products already. It is a saturated market already. Either you guys have not been out and about or this is the very only time that you have been out, in real life. Cos you've been facing the virtual world too much.

@dagmarbubolz7999 : In the late 1990s... this was the same with the USA as well. You had to do an entire semester's as an exchange student. I think this has lots of reasons, like getting used to living in that country, or getting settled with every day things etc. And socialising and meeting your course mates. Lots of things. Swings and roundabouts really.

@menju32 : LOL... To be honest.. it sounds like Switzerland is ready for disruption like a "food cart" during lunch time, that the owner could park outside, for their company canteen. lol..... Would that work? Is it allowed ?? See? They too need actual "immigrants". That could be a nice little pop up store or business for somebody inside Europe. That is, if they are allowed and won't get prosecuted.... lol.... In one of my old job, we had that. This is how innovative the Brits sometimes are. :)

@Youtuber_YusukeFromGermany : It is sad to be reading this kind of thing now.. and the whole EU thing is fallen onto its head. And why would people be happy ? And no wonder the genuine right wing parties are up in the air over this. Rightly so. Imho.

@Kindapple : I live in the UK. I'm a British Cantonese. So.. before I read this thread... there was another video that linked about the Japanese's Nissan situation. Sorry. I am just merely repeating those facts from what I have seen. To be fair....? I don't have either opinion on a personal basis for Japanese cars. Since I don't even drive. One thing I do like about their attitude is that, they cover all basics. To me, being in the UK, I also prefer small cars.. and not big cars... the fact that they managed to break into the US market is also an accolade.. The US market is VERY different to the UK or the European ones. I am guessing that, those small but nimble basic cars.. found its way from the US and into the UK. THAT is possibly how they maintained their advantage. Since we have brexited.. This CEO... who got caught out in the scandals... I think he is a little bit beyond his experience, since he doesn't have working experience of such changing political models, that impacts his company structures. His team, should've let him know of this, rather than to be caught out like this.

@Sanyu-Tumusiime : The display screens are bought. They bought the patents.. and Samsung did not create or researched those things as well. Some patents were deliberately bought out. They just internalised.. and kept themselves to themselves. Countries can grow or shrink.. depending on their deals and relationships with others.

@mikel488 ; : Well..this is what the "data" tells you.... Cos if you think about it, and think about how they have edited this dataset... Then, how come you are not in a job.. and yet their final figures are wrong or different? So many youths are unemployed, and yet, there are no training programmes to slowly ease them into the workforce either. So then it means that, they keep them out. This then means that, they could only do the jobs which their parents are doing. Kind of like a 3 vertical tier structures like that Tedtalk about China. Either you are in the civil service, or you are in the social enterprises, or in the commercial sectors. Even if everybody moves to Germany, then what is to become of other countries? It needs to reduce backwards again. Right ??? And a lot of people have not done their immigration papers properly either judging the scheme of things. Maybe this is what is missing from government's budgets !

@Blumenfreund84 : Out of curiosity, what is a "high skilled" worker? Somebody typically with a science degree or background ? I didn't know that being in the whole EU was so fluid... and don't you need to pay taxes back home and then reconciled? Or only in the country that you live in only ? I'm sure I can only remember details pre-euro... which wasn't even the formal EU back then, I don't think. And I never knew that Germany was so advanced now, is because it basically sucked the entire Europe into itself ! So then it means that, there IS no EU, right ??? I also never knew about the language thing either. That's odd... just remember my backpacking days.. and after that, I never really travelled back to Europe. Not really for me... And why wouldn't Germany now consider relocating some of their actual supply chains and factories all across Europe ??.... Give back some factories into the UK !

@paugasolina5048 : They can come to the UK and work on the trains... :) Or be a boiler installer and constructions... To be honest, UK needs engineers.

Really? I never knew that. But to be honest, isn't there a lot of... Americans, that are genuinely Japanese as well ? So people talk as if.... Well.. the world is weird. Really weird.

@Kindapple : Please don't use ME personally, as a scapegoat for the downfall of the Japanese companies. I think you cannot be the type of person that worked in the manufacturing sector. Cos I really do not think that you got what the hell is going on, do you??? FYI... as someone who is from HK or has a HK heritage.... I don't think that you got what and why Japan did what they did. Sorry... but please... don't blame me, as a reader online. For the bad decisions that THEIR CEO misjudged on. You genuinely have a real bad .... I'm sorry, but this is ridiculoous.

@RedGreenAlert : GOOD. What really happened ? So India bought out all the IT companies across Europe and has the government contracts? And also similar thing too in the USA. So yeh... why does Japan need to be not be careful like this to begin with any way ?

Er.... you really don't know what is a "keiretsu's " do you ? They were small businesses... mostly families... And then they consolidated. And why did they do that? Cos in getting pooled resources together, then they could change and innovate. They did not "bring any money" from "outside" into.... Japan... In fact, Japan crashed royally.... way way way before.. the 2008 crash. And even USA couldn't safe it. They experienced shock, and then for the rest of their lives, they literally lived in a recession. And the brand name "Nissan" or all of those global MNCs... They do not touch the local internal market. Similar to the UK. There was a global market, which relied on global financial sectors.. and not local money. In fact, those families suffered because of this... You ought to really open your eyes a lot more before speaking rubbish. When Japanese companies expanded, they literally opened a HQ for that country, so that it is a mere label. So they don't bring YOUR money, into THEIR country... Cos that isn't and wasn't what happened ! The countries that took somebody else's money and kept it, THOSE are the ones that you OUGHT to chase ! Japanese companies structured like most companies like Unilever or whatever.. they kept a business unit for each country and kept their activities localised. So that it is fair accounting. It is the current globalisation that.. we have to watch out for... And when China/PRC joined the WTO... this screwed up the global supply-chain.... And now, the gazillion amount of small and private companies... out there.. hoovering up the world... Collapsing ALL small mom and pop businesses.. THOSE are the ones that you HAVE to be angry about !!! And PRC still feed the supply-chain and factories keep providing components for their techs...

@dennis9662 : Because the tech companies are getting a portion of your earnings, that is why.... The same can be said of the scenario. I use an "app"... for food delivery. I can get it from the store, but then I have to pay extras on top. And then the store adds and increased their prices to do it as well. Why? Cos then this would expand those app companies... and then it would become as such ?? And then, those restaurants or those stores or businesses close and collapses asap. Mostly around six months' mark. And yet, people are using their powers and their voting powers either. To fight against this. lol... I find it extremely funny. Super funny !!!!!! And all of these so called "advertising".. Most companies, don't know how to opt themselves out of things as well. Or WHO has a hold on them, and tracking them or their datas either.

@dariusz.9119 : If they do, that could be related to the intra-union taxes between the states. So.... It means how it used to be for the UK and the commonwealth. Some of the taxes are issued in country A and then reclaimed in B etc. So.... The respective tax offices are meant to deal with the rest etc.

@chingompiew1 : Why does he get IBS? I bet those are kind of like super manufactured or something... and not like products like before...

Daiso is Chinese. Not Japanese.

@letsgowalk : Eh ?? I'm confused.

@baardagaam : First of all, they ought to sort out those accountancy issues to be honest !!! Cos I didn't even know and get what the heck was going on ! And why so much fraud ! I also don't understand the legalities here.. and I think there are some illegalities as well... and overlaps !!!

Sounds like when Germany is trying to suck dry the British offshore model. It has hit some snags... That is what it's going on here. Frankly. Easily. And nobody is trying to iron out the actual grey areas appropriately. Cos either the laws are not in place or that the politics shouldn't be where it is. Cos you don't want the indirect actions of collapsing the financial sectors. Basically.
