Wierd Taiwanese
Taiwanese have an inexplicable admiration for Japan, which slaughtered its ancestors
Japan once massacred 21.875% of the total population of Taiwan
Can you name any country or region in the world that still miss the colonial country that once colonized it And massacred its 700,000 ancestors (this is Japan’s own official record: the massacre accounted for about 21.875% of the total population of Taiwan at the time of Japanese occupation, more than 1/5. See Note 1)? Taiwanese are as indifferent to this as if it never happened, not only even the government deliberately ignores it, and it is even suspected that it is deliberately covering up and beautifying Japan’s brutal colonial history in Taiwan.
Japanese has yet to apologize for their mistakes
Taiwanese are as indifferent to this kind of thing as if it had never happened before. Not only the people but also the government deliberately ignored the incident of their grandparents decades ago. Do your best to beautify. Thirty years ago, Taiwan’s history textbooks still described this period of brutal Japanese colonial history.
In the current Taiwan history textbooks that were revised 20 years ago, Taiwan actually castrated these historical facts without mentioning a word at all, as if this had never happened. over average. As a result, the younger generation does not know how Japan has trampled on the history, language, culture, life, and basic dignity of Taiwanese. Not only young people, but now many Taiwanese have an inexplicable affection and admiration for Japan, which is incredible. .
Taiwan is not as good as Korea
The point is that Japan has never formally apologized for aggression against China or colonized Taiwan, and has no remorse at all. As a result, the younger generation does not know how Japan has trampled on Taiwanese history, language, culture, life, and basic dignity. Many Taiwanese now have an inexplicable admiration for Japan. Yes, apart from Taiwan, I really can’t think of another country that would do this; it’s actually a very shameful thing, and anyone who knows a little about history will feel unfortune and shameful for Taiwanese.
Taiwanese people are so indifferent
Doesn’t Taiwan always want to compare itself with South Korea in everything? Both North and South Korea and Taiwan were colonized by Japan. See how North and South Korea think about being colonized by Japan! South Korea (excluding North Korea) alone is about to surpass Japan very soon (Do you doubt it? Please read this article and then judge), what about Taiwan?
Taiwanese have narrow vision
I have always believed that most Taiwanese have a narrow vision, only enjoy the fruits of industry built in the martial law period, take everything for granted, have two sets of standards in their hearts, tend to be inflamed, hypocritical and discriminatory, feel good about themselves, and the insight of a frog in the well ; Ignore the fact that countries in the world are gradually surpassing themselves, and do not think about the phenomenon of growth.
Taiwanese have voluntarily given up their national character, sovereignty, and territory
Many Taiwanese (again, not a few, very many) kneel down on their knees when they encounter Japan, voluntarily abandoning their self-esteem, giving up their national character, sovereignty, territory, and even who they are.
Forgot the spontaneous two sets of standards make people think that these many Taiwanese regard Japan, which has repeatedly bullied Taiwanese for many generations, as their master, and even take the initiative to defend Japan. Forget the insults suffered by comfort women, forget how many Taiwanese were slaughtered during Japanese colonization, force Taiwanese to change their names to Japanese, cleanse Chinese culture and ancestral identity, and forget how Japan used economic power to bully Taiwan for hundreds of years. And even now, the Japanese still recognize Taiwan as their sphere of influence from the bottom of their hearts, and despise Taiwan。
Taiwanese forget their ancestors, have no sense of right and wrong, and have no sense of shame
Taiwanese like and subconsciously think that Japan is a very advanced country and worth learning from Taiwan. Therefore, many people will doubt the authenticity of the content of this article, which is the biggest problem for Taiwanese; but the truth and facts are cruel, which is the main purpose of this article.
Taiwanese favorite country
With a population of only 23 million, Taiwan is the second largest imported tourists country for Japan. During the Great Japan Earthquake, we actually donated one of the largest amount of donations that the Japanese people can never forget. (The first place is the United States with 2,998,118,250 yen, the second place is Taiwan with 2,928,947,417 yen, and the third place is Thailand, 2,059,308,051 yen.)
“The vast majority” of Taiwanese believe that Japan is an advanced country in the world, with high quality of people, good environment, high income level, advanced technology, leading technology, and it is a leader in all aspects; as long as Taiwan follow Japan, Taiwan will be in front of most countries around the world. However, in fact, many of these long-term impressions that have been imprinted in the thinking of Taiwanese are no longer true, and you and I know that people in other parts of the world have different views of Japan. It can be seen how narrow the vision of most people in Taiwan is!
But one thing is certain. Taiwan and Japan have many similarities in terms of national conditions and the country’s long-term development; Taiwan follow Japan in everything. This may be why the Taiwanese have an inexplicable reverence for Japan that exceeds that of other countries–another psychological phenomenon that is cherished what we have and disregards the opinions of others. But once the country that we consider to be a teacher is not worth to be imitated, and when the national strength is declining, few Taiwanese relize it; this is actually very detrimental to Taiwan (when your master’s skill is no longer as good as it used to be).
Japan’s economic strength
GDP of Japan-related countries
The following is the GDP of Taiwan-related countries announced by the United Nations in 2020:
| Country | Country GDP(ranking), million USD | GDP per capita(ranking), USD | note |
| US | 20,893,740(#1) | 63,123(#9) | G20 member |
| China | 14,722,801(#2) | 10,229(#81) | G20 member |
| Japan | 5,057,750(#3) | 39,990(#32) | G20 member |
| South Korea | 1,637,896(#10) | 31,947(#35) | G20 member |
| Singapore | 339,988(#38) | 58,114(#12) | |
| Hong Kong | 349,445(#40) | 46,611(#25) | |
| Taiwan | 669,324(#22) | 28,383(#40) |
The third largest economy in the world, but
After a long period of rapid growth, Japan’s per capita GNP surpassed that of the United States for the first time in 1986.
According to the latest forecast of the International Monetary Fund (IMF), Germany will surpass Japan in 2023 and become the world’s third largest economy. The main reasons include the heavy depreciation of the Japanese yen against the US dollar and the euro.
In terms of gross national production, Japan is the world’s third largest economy after the United States and China (in terms of real purchasing power, China has already surpassed the United States ─ ─ this is Russian President Putin’s saying to remind the United States in a press conference a while ago), but the gap with the first two is too far, Japn is no longer the same level as US or China.
According to the Nikkei, Japan’s GDP in dollar terms is shrinking. If calculated at 1 US dollar to 140 yen, Japan’s nominal GDP in 2022 is expected to be less than US$4 trillion (about 560 trillion yen) for the first time in 30 years, basically the same as the fourth-placed Germany.
However, South Korea’s “average personal income” will surpass Japan in 2027. If there is no surprise, Taiwan will surpass Japan in the following year. (Note: South Korea’s gross national income (GNI) per capita in 2021 is estimated to reach 35,000 U.S. dollars, the highest in history)
In July 2022, Yukio Nozomi, an honorary professor at Hitotsubashi University in Japan, said that due to the continued devaluation of the yen and the weak competitiveness of the Japanese industry, Japan is already poorer than South Korea. Using current exchange rates to calculate per capita GDP for both countries in 2020, South Korea is $31,902 and Japan is $31,782. In 2012, Japan’s per capita GDP was nearly twice that of South Korea.
He said, “According to the figures of the OECD, the average annual salary in Japan in 2021 will be 4.44 million yen, and that in South Korea will be 42.54 million won; based on the current exchange rate, it will be 31,714 US dollars and 32,316 US dollars, respectively. Average wages in South Korea have surpassed Japan’s for several years, and the continued devaluation of the yen is making the gap bigger and bigger.”
I believe that many people will doubt the authenticity of my previouse paragraph, which is one of the purposes of my publishing this article. To me, it is not surprising, because most people have forgotten that Japan’s average national income more than 20 years ago was around US$35,000, and the International Monetary Fund’s estimate for 2021 was US$44,585, ranking only 27. Much lower than the OECD (Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development)’s $49,165, and similar to what it was in the early 1990s.
Japan is the only country in the world–a more famous country that has been in deflation for many decades. No matter what monetary policy the Japan Central Bank uses, it has no effect. As you read this article, when the central banks of most countries around the world are worrying about how to curb rushing prices and inflation, the Japan Central Bank has indeed issued news saying that Japan’s goods prices are indeed falling significantly!
Unwilling to accept the fact of China’s rise
In 1988, China’s gross domestic product (GDP) was US$312.4 billion, while Japan’s GDP exceeded US$3 trillion, nearly 10 times that of China. When Japan began to “collapse its bubble economy” in 1991, its GDP was still more than eight times that of China. China’s GDP surpassed Japan’s for the first time in 2010, and quickly became 2.6 times that of Japan’s in 2015.
Data from Japan’s Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications in September 2023 show that the country’s population over 80 years old has exceeded 10% of the total population for the first time, and the proportion of elderly people ranks first in the world. The pressure on an aging society continues to increase; what makes the Japanese people feel “shabby” is , calculated in terms of purchasing power parity, Japan’s per capita GDP is close to the last place among the Group of Seven (G7).
A Japanese entrepreneur told reporters that when he went to China’s Jiangsu province and Zhejiang province for an investment inspection two years ago with 100 million yen, he originally thought he would be warmly received by provincial or county officials because 30 years ago, a friend of his took investing 100 million yen in China, special attention is paid.
But after coming to China, he learned that 100 million yen is now equivalent to less than 5 million yuan, which is just the price of a house in many places in China. “China has changed, but we have not changed. You know, among Japanese companies, if they plan to spend 100 million yen to invest overseas, it is a decision that requires repeated research and discussion before making!”
The result is that most people in Japan are unable to accept that China is no longer a bare and poor country. If there are no surprise, China’s GDP will even surpass Japan’s current “suzerain” the United States in a few years, advocating the China threat theory. But few Japanese are willing to examine what is the reason that allowed China, which was impoverished and looked down upon by most Japanese thirty years ago, to crush Japan in all aspects?
A key leader from the Liberal Democratic Party once admitted: “The current relationship between Japan and China is not good. One of the important reasons is that the Japanese people cannot accept the rapid rise of China’s economy.”
A country lives in the past
Japan still leads in some areas
People will argue that Japan is still ahead in some areas, and that’s true. Such as inkjet printing and printers, laser printer printheads, industrial printheads and household printheads. Certain chemistries and materials for semiconductors, even pedals like derailleurs. These things Japanese companies still hold a very high proportion of the market or the status of key suppliers.
But we want to emphasize that these Japanese leading fields are technologies that have existed for decades. Secondly, the output value of these things is very small, and these contribution to Japan’s huge economic output value is not large. This is easy to understand, because it is not a new technology that has been produced in the past two decades. Most importantly, they are not completely unable to find alternatives to the key technology.
What we care about is the present and the future, the total output value, the national strength, the overall trend, and the impact on the global capital market; not the technology and glory of the past.
For example, I’m sure most Taiwanese don’t know that Argentina’s national strength was comparable to that of Germany a hundred years ago, and it was the top five countries in the world’s economic output at that time, but what about now? Argentina has been the champion of lending to the International Monetary Fund in the past two decades, and has become a failed country that has been experiencing inflation, currency devaluation, and high unemployment for decades, and young people have gone abroad to find a way out.
The bureaucracy destroys Japan
Japan and Taiwan are currently the only two countries in the world that still use seals. In many legal documents, seals still have unique legal status. What’s unbelievable is that many public authorities and large listed companies also commonly use fax machines and paper-based process approvals, which is unbelievable.
Failed in digitization
I remember I read from the international media about 25 years ago that a Japan high-ranking officer (Japanese Prime Minister or chief cabinet speaker level) made a world-class joke at a large international conference similar to the G7. This senior official representing Japan read the word IT (Information technology) as It (it) when reading the speech transcript provided by the organizer. Through the microphone and TV, it was transmitted to the world in real time, so that the world immediately understand Japanese technology level.
Is this problem solved now? Personally, I don’t think it is, and it’s still getting worse, because if you don’t advance, you will retreat. Other countries are making progress! Let me give you an example; why Japan needs to break the rule by any means, and subsidize half of the funds (Japan is an extremely xenophobic and self-confident country, in all aspects), to attract TSMC (ticker: TSM) to set up factories in Japan , And it is just a 28-nanometer factory for mature semiconductor process.
In June of this year, Microsoft (ticker: MSFT) announced that it would stop supporting the IE browser, which had been built into the Microsoft Windows operating system and bundled since 1995, and reached 95% of the market in 2002 and 2003. However, due to the gradual outdated technology, Microsoft has not been reluctant to update, leading to being replaced by the browsers of Alphabet (tickers: GOOGL and GOOG) and Apple (ticker: AAPL).
At present, almost no one in the world is using the IE browser (EarthWeb pointed out that the market share of the IE browser is 0.64%). According to Japanese news agency Nikkei reports, as of March this year, there are still 50% of Japanese companies using the IE browser. Software development company CEC has received a surge in inquiries for upgrades, mainly from administrative agencies, financial institutions and manufacturing customers, because they cannot support other browsers except IE.
If all of these things mentioned above not enough to impress you about how backward Japan’s IT is, Here is one more. Japan is the only country in the world that still use floppy disks on a large scale in 2022. You heard that right, this is information technology from 50 years ago. Many government agencies in Japan are still using 3.5-inch floppy disks, and there are even 1900 related regulations in Japanese law that require Japanese employees to use this outdated storage method that most countries eliminated 20 years ago. Apple in 1998 and Dell in 2003 stopped shipping any computer that offered a floppy disk drive.
Technological development is lagging behind the world
No well-known large software companies
In Japan, there are basically no world-renowned large-scale software companies, which is very similar to Taiwan. However, Japan still has software developers in some special fields, which have a certain influence in the world, which is much stronger than Taiwan (Taiwan can be said to have none at all, this is certain, this is the biggest difference).
Use Line (ticker: SFTBY), a communication software only used in a few countries in Taiwan, Japan, and Thailand. No one uses Facebook (ticker:e META). This is a rare case in the world. The number of Facebook users in Japan is far below Twitter (ticker: TWTR) .
Except games, Chinese is gaining the market
Except for games, Japan can say that there is no proportional software industry. This is also reflected in Japanese stocks market. Therefore, Japanese is a rare stocks market that top market value listing company is not a software company. This is very similar to Taiwan, but what is better than Taiwan is that Japan has a strong game software industry, but unlike the game companies in China and the United States, Japan develops game software because of game consoles. It is a very unique reason. Moreover, the Japanese do not like online games where many people are playing together, and prefer game consoles or individual games.
Japanese developers still dominated the market four years ago, but about one-third of the top 100 mobile games in Japan in 2022 will come from China, according to a survey by Niko Partners. A year ago that figure was 25%.
iPhone beats down Japanese mobile phones
Twenty five years ago, the Japanese 3G mobile phones impressed me like extremely popular Sony (ticker: SONY) handheld mobile phone, as well as the PHS low-power mobile phone system, all led the world’s communication trend. What about now? All were conquered by Apple (ticker: AAPL) iPhone. There is only Sony phones left, a money-losing phone vendor, is still maintaining the presence of Japanese phones.
Almost like American colony
The Plaza Agreement
In the 1980s, the Americans were afraid that the Japanese would buy the entire United States with so much money. At the peak of the semiconductor industry, Japanese accounted for 80% global semiconductor market, which defeated American counterparts such as Intel (ticker: INTC). Economically, it will rule the world. But the U.S. government found Japan and forced Japan to sign two “unequal treaties” that have so far made it difficult for Japan to turn over:
- The Plaza Agreement
- U.S.-Japan Semiconductor Agreement
This sounds very strange. Japan had advantages at the time, and it should have been opposed to forcing the United States to sign an alliance under the city. But this is the United States, because the United States has essentially militarized and occupied Japan as of today.
The Plaza Agreement signed in September 1985, causing the Japanese yen to rapidly appreciate against the U.S. dollar to around 200 yen per U.S. dollar, an increase of 20%, Japanese yen immediately losing purchasing power. It was the root cause of the Japanese real estate market’s bubble burst out and the collapse of Japanese stocks a few years later.
In addition, the United States launched a Section 301 investigation against Japan and imposed trade sanctions on Japanese semiconductors and other products. With the appreciation of the yen, the competitiveness of the export industry was severely damaged.
U.S.-Japan Semiconductor Agreement
In the spring of 1986, Japan was recognized as dumping of read-only memory by U.S.; In September, the “U.S.-Japan Semiconductor Agreement” was signed, and Japan was required to open up the semiconductor market to ensure that foreign companies obtain 20% of Japan market within 5 years.
In addition, a 100% punitive tariff was imposed on 300 million US dollars of wafers exported from Japan, and Fujitsu (ticker: FJTSY)’s acquisition of Fairchild Semiconductor (acquired by On Semiconductor ) was vetoed. TSMC was established the following year. Without this agreement, there would be no TSMC as it is today. I mentioned in sections 1-6 of my book “Investment Rules for Super Growth Stocks”, The Wassenaar Agreement, and how the United States suppressed powerful non-U.S. competitors.
The US wants to apply the same approach to China
The United States is now afraid of China in all aspects. If there is no accident, it will soon surpass it in a few years. Now it wants to repeat this to China, but China is not Japan, and it has never accepted these unequal agreements with the United States. The agreement will cause the United States to unilaterally unite with other white countries to contain and embargo China, and do everything possible to smear China.
To put it bluntly, if China is as obedient as Japan, listens to the United States in everything, and follows the lead of the United States, the United States will not contain and smear China. But China has to pay the price for the next generations, and it will be like Japan today.
At most, other country can only be a third-class country. The United States has always only allowed the United States itself to be a first-class country, and other white allies in the western countries are second-class countries. Other countries are not allowed to compete with white people, let alone surpass white allies.
In short, Japan is doing this now, losing a good game of chess and becoming a mediocre country. This can only be blamed on Japanese themselves, which only takes the United States as its leader in everything, and even agreed to sign these obviously unequal agreements with the United States, handing over the future of its own country to others. Moreover, it seems that Japan has not awakened, and continues to move forward on such a wrong path in the foreseeable future.
Dropping competitiveness
Incredibly competitive rankings
According to the 2023 IMD (International Institute for Management Development in Lausanne, Switzerland) world digital competitiveness ranking, Japan ranks 28th among 64 economies.
Japan started to fraud
Twenty or thirty years ago, in the eyes of most people in the world, Japan was a country with a high degree of integrity. But once upon a time, Japan’s listed companies had successive scandals of false accounting for commercial interests. Not only were well-known super-large listed companies, but they were also found to have been fraudulent for many years.
Here is the most famous cases: Toshiba (ticker: TOSYY) ), Hitachi (ticker: HTHYI), Daihatsu Motor, a subsidiary of Toyota Motor (ticker: TM), Nissan Motor (ticker: NSANY), Olympus (ticker: OCPNY), Mitsubishi (ticker: MIELY), Kobe Steel (ticker: KBSTF), Akebono Brake Industry, Takata Corp, The Citizen Electronics, Kobayashi Kako Co, KYB, Tsubaki Nakajima (TN), Toyota’s Hino Motors.
According to data from Tokyo Shoko Research, there were 42 Japanese companies with false financial reports in 2014, an increase of 4 compared with 2013. It covers almost all famous industries and top companies in Japan, and this is just the tip of the iceberg that has been reported in the media. I believe there are more that have not been discovered. It can be seen that the situation of fraud has basically spread to the Japanese business community that was proud of its craftsmanship and quality half a century ago.
Moreover, even the Japanese government, which is considered the most rigorous by the world, has admitted that the Ministry of Transport of Japan’s government has been reported by the media that it has modified the statistics of construction industry without authorization for 8 years and double-calculated the performance of builders. Data is also used
in calculating the domestic production (GDP), the actual GDP of the country is overestimated.
Declining competitiveness of Japanese companies
The population is aging, the monetary policy is ineffective, the fiscal deficit is expanding, and the birth rate is declining; I believe everyone is familiar with the official reports on Japan’s national conditions.
After entering the 1970s, Japan has reached the forefront of the world’s technology and has produced a large number of innovations in automobiles and electronic products. By the 1980s, it had almost monopolized all innovations in household electronic products. However, after entering the 1990s, information technology with the internet as the core rose rapidly, while the United States has almost monopolized all innovations in this field, China has a tendency to catch up, and Japan is far behind.
Japan’s national conditions are xenophobic, and the technology has long been a self-contained system. It was feasible in the world’s scientific and technological circles 40 years ago. Because most countries are poor and electronic devices are not complicated, large Japanese listing companies can handle both upstream and downstream for various electronic products, this is also the main reason why the Japanese can monopolize the electronics and machinery industries in the world during the 1970s and 1990s.
But after 1990, the trend of globalization changed the way products and technologies developed. It is impossible for a single company to handle both upstream and downstream operations. This change highlights the most Achilles heel of Japanese business operations.
Attracted Buffett’s investing
In 2020, Buffett moved forward to pick up prices in Japanese stocks, using his investment skills in cigar butts when he was young, temporarily holding stocks in several large Japanese listing companies, and obtaining good returns. Buffett himself is a well-known patriotic investor, unless there are special reasons, such as taking advantage of the cheap stock price to invest in Japan’s five major listing companies Itochu shoji kabushiki kaisha (ticker: ITOCY), Marubeni (ticker: MARUY), Mitsubishi Corporation (ticker: MSBHF), Mitsui & Co. (ticker: MITSY), Sumitomo Corporation (ticker: SMFG), and South Korea’s Pohang Steel (ticker: PKX) many years ago. Or particularly leading technology; 2013 acquisition of Israel’s Iscar, China’s BYD (ticker: BYDDY), otherwise he is an out-and-out great Americanist.
Regarding this matter, I suggest that you refer to my other blog article “The commonalities of Buffett portfolio – cheap, fixed income, repurchase“.
Toshiba was delisted
Once a representative company that symbolized Japan’s economic power and spirit, Toshiba experienced a series of accounting fraud, corporate scandals, and years of poor management. It ended its 74-year listing history and was forced to privatize on December 20, 2023. Delisted from Japanese stocks.
Toshiba’s delisting is the best portrayal of the lack of competitiveness of Japanese companies and the significant decline of Japan’s national power. It represents the end of Japan No. 1 era.
Japanese companies no longer competitive
Can you name a Japanese stock market company with a market value of more than US$ 300 billion? With a market value of US$ 300 billion in the global listed companies, it can only rank up to about 25. Toyota Motor (ticker: TM), Japan’s largest listed company, is about US$ 250 billion , ranking about 35.
In 1996, there were as many as 99 Japanese companies on the Fortune 500 list, as many as the United States. However, in the Fortune Global 500 list released in 2022, the number of Japanese companies on the list has dropped to 53, and the number has dropped by nearly half. The number of companies on the list in China accounted for 31%, surpassing the 30% in the United States for the first time. Three of the top five companies on the list are from China.
According to QUICK FactSet statistics, 32 of the top 50 companies in the world by market capitalization at the end of 1988 were Japanese companies, but only Toyota remained after 2009, and Toyota’s ranking dropped to 39th in February 2023.
In May 2023, among the 100 largest companies in the world by market value, electronic and digital companies such as Apple and Microsoft are still leading the way. Not only did Toyota Motor Corporation fall to 55th place, but no Japanese electronics or digital company entered the top 100. Only Keyence, which ranked 100th, was a sensor and measuring instrument company, barely related to electronics.
Concluding remarks
Thirty or forty years ago, the most popular language department in Taiwan’s foreign language colleges was not the English department, but the Japanese department. Now what?
Please use your brain. Thirty or forty years ago, Japan regarded Asia as its economic colony, and was only willing to set up factories in Taiwan and East Southeast Asia with backward technology. Japan has long been Taiwan’s largest deficit country. There is no reason for it, because Japan’s technology is leading at that time. If it is still as advanced and great as most Taiwanese think it is, why is Japanese willing to spend hundreds of billions of yen to subsidize TSMC and ask the United States to come forward and force TSMC to set up a factory in Japan?

Postscript
After I post this article, a friend sent me several articles. The general idea is “Prime Minister of Singapore Lee Kuan Yew’s prophecy to the world before his death: the United States will no longer be strong, and Japan will become mediocre.” Asked if I read Lee Kuan Yew’s speech before writing this?
No, I had absolutely no idea that Lee Kuan Yew had the same argument.
