Apr 19th 2008 1:08AM We gave everything to the Japanese on a silver platter, and that didn't end badly (at least it is making GM build better cars)... so what is your point? The East is rapidly industrializing and will eventually catch up to the West, and their economy will stagnant when this happens. Then they will have to start innovating to maintain growth...

Feb 12th 2008 3:17PM To Joe:
Japan's days are numbered as a major economic power. Their population is declining and their GDP is decreasing, by 2050 Brazil's GDP will almost equal Japan's GDP (Goldman Sachs). Manufacturing that Japan and the US used to do will be moved to China now and in the near future. Nobody outsources manufacturing to Japan anymore as its too expensive, and Japanese companies (sony, hitachi,etc) have moved their manufacturing out of Japan and are facing tough competition from the Koreans (samsung, LG, etc) and now the Chinese on the corporate front. The Japanese steel industry will soon face a huge threat from the improving Chinese industry. Japan has few natural resources to rely on. The last thing the Japanese have left is their Auto industry; right now Toyota's dominance may not be numbered like the rest of Japan's industries, but Japan is still a small country that has to rely on the US for their economy, resources, and protection (US military). Toyota and Honda are the last shiny pony Japan has left. We should be more worried by the upcoming Chinese cars, they already took our manufacturing.
