Japan was an industrial power house, and a country that has managed to overcome seemingly insurmountable odds not once, but twice. I wholeheartedly believe that it will emerge from its current troubles and ascend to its previous greatness, likely in a form we cannot now predict.

Japan is the crown juwel of Asia, I am always greatly impressed. This was in 1963, 18 years after the war!

I am a Japanese engineer and would like to say more correctly for this matter. The company name "Nissan"(日産) comes from "Nippon Sangyo". " Nippon"(日本) means Japan in Japanese, while "Sangyo"(産業) stands for industori(es).

@@hajunjebat8180 nothing is that simple. Many Japanese companies names have are just combination of old names, some are family names merged with type of work they do, some are inspired from foreign names mixed with Japanese family names.

“Made in Japan” is not just a label of origin. But a symbol of technological advances and innovation built from scratch. No one in this planet can replicate the mindset of the Japanese when it comes to quality . These are the reason why some Chinese companies uses Japanese name/branding to attract customers!

They were new factories while Americans kept on using their turn of the century steel mills until they became so obsolete that it was more cost effective to build new ones overseas than to renovate the old ones. Should have subsidized the construction of new steel mills instead of corn syrup that's used to fuel the obesity crisis. I support my farmers but the whole system is so Topsy turvy where farmers grow crops not to raise families but to become laser focused where if there's a crisis crops & animals are liquidated. During the pandemic rather than to turn surplus milk into long shelf food products such as condensed milk the farmers dumped their milk down the drains or in fields.

Japan develop way more than that. in Japan, everything is mechanized. USA gave us hint or key pretty much. I am Japanese but I am even surprised how quickly they invent the stuff. I am traveling the USA and Japan every 3 years. (My husband is American). For my experience for both country, I would say, USA is a military country and Japan is advanced country. but Japanese housing is very small. I think I like USA housing better since I have a 4bed room house with backyard in the USA :)

I think Japan these days has R&D at least as good as anywhere else in the world. And I think the advantage of Japan over the USA is that Japan is small enough with a concentrated enough population that the fruits of its inventiveness and industry can be spread more or less evenly, whereas the USA is a bit too large and spread out to pull off the same effect, even with a larger economy. There are, as you say, advantages to being a very large country - space isn't really an issue in most places - but there are disadvantages as well. For example, *because* we have so much space, I don't think Americans value efficiency of design as much as we probably should, especially as our impact on the environment becomes more and more important to consider.

Every country goes through this. They start industry and attract investment because of cheap labor. The middle class expands and factory jobs drive home and car purchases and increased consumer spending. 10 to 20 years later, pollution and crime have taken hold and labor costs have driven factories to some other less developed country. innovation and information technologies must then be relied on for national industry. Britain did it, then the US, then Japan, now China. Next is India.

In terms of the Total Net National Wealth, Japan is at the top of the world, and US is at the bottom of the world. www.bea.gov/newsreleases/international/intinv/intinvnewsrelease.htm www.statista.com/statistics/188817/net-international-investment-position-of-the-united-states-since-1990/ In the world rankings based on Net External Assets defined by the total national wealth minus the total debt that the country owes to foreign investors (also called International Investment Position), Japan has been No.1 in the world since 1991 among 190 countries, while US has been 190th since 1990 even though US was No.1 from 1913 to 1983. The amount of US Net External Assets was No.1 in the world until 1983. It became 0 in 1986, fell to the bottom of the world in 1990, and has been there since then. To hide this disgraceful fact, in the mid 1990's, US started to use GDP instead of GNP, and legalized fake accounting methods calling them "Creative Accounting". When factories had been being shipped overseas in the late 1980's, Japan was the only nation in the world that started to transition to the high value-added economy. US did nothing to transition to the high value-added economy while complaining about lost jobs. Japanese were fully aware that innovation-based high value-added economy cannot be shipped to cheap labor countries. The government of Japan focused on improving the basis of innovation-based high value-added economy, while US has done nothing similar. This is precisely why Japan's unemployment rate has been the lowest in the world despite the lingering effects of the Lehman Brothers shock that devastated the world economy. Japan currently holds 53.1% of all the International Standardized Patents of the world. Japan's innovation index based on the number of patents by domestic inventors per unit population is 5.1 times higher than that of US. 67% of all the university graduates in Japan are employed in STEM fields.

Well, we all, Japanese and American should be forever thankful to General McArthur; he is responsible for the new Japan. He transformed Japan after WW 2 and it would not be where it is today without him. General McAruther changed the culture, eduational system, and way of Japanese thinking, . Then Japanese just took-off with the ideas in industry, invention, and rebuilding their country.

I don't think General McArthur changed the Japanese way of life in totality just like what you said. Even before WWII, the country was way ahead of any regional Asian countries at that time in terms of socioeconomic development and was the first country in Asia Pacific to industrialise prior to the war. I would say General McArthur just trigger the seeds of new Japan, starting with the constitution and policies, but it is the Japanese people collective effort who can make it work.

sankei.jp.msn.com/world/news/140727/amr14072711080004-n1.htm 2014 July 27 Democratization of Marxism under GHQ Japan Occupation Policies Release of communists from prisons, expulsion from public positions, war criminal research, new constitution enactment, etc GHQ Executive member and Canadian diplomat Egerton Herbert Norman, whom UK MI 5 (Intelligence Security Department) has positively identified as a communist, promoted democratization of Marxism. He returned to Japan in 1945 Sep. He visited Marxist constitutional law scholar Yasuzou Suzuki, and initiated a plan for revising the constitution of Japan, saying "Now is the chance to revise the constitution of Japan to democratize Japan. Yasuzou Suzuki had been arrested in 1926 in the Kyoto Students Association Incident, and served 2 years in prison. Based on the advise he received from Norman, he formed the Constitution Research Association with former professor of Tokyo Imperial University Iwasaburou Takano who had been advocating abolishment of Tennou System. 　　 1945 Oct 5, Norman visited Fuchuu Prison and released communists Yoshio Shiga and Kyuu-ichi Tokuda. 1945 Oct 7, Norman interrogated Shiga and Tokuda to create a list of individuals who oppose the GHQ policies. Based on the list, he directed the termination of the Internal Affairs Minister, police executives, and the entire Special High Police. Moreover, he expelled over 200,000 Japanese comprised of politicians, bureaucrats, teachers, journalists, business leaders from public jobs. The vacated positions were then taken by communists under his direction. Moreover, he started investigation on war criminal suspects. He designated Prime Minister Fumimaro Konoe and former Internal Affairs Minister Kouichi Kido to class-A war criminals. 1945 Dec 16, he issued a warrant to them. Fumimaro Konoe committed suicide on Dec 16 on which he had been scheduled to report to GHQ. Note: Between 1950 and 1952, during the McCarthy Era, Norman was suspected of being a Soviet agent. He allowed the Japanese Communist Party to continue while other parties were banned. In 1957 April, he committed suicide in Cairo, where he had been serving as Canada's ambassador to Egypt, by jumping off the roof of the Swedish Embassy. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/E._Herbert_Norman

Blacks could not even use a hospital or call an ambulance.

Translation of Highlights of Toshio Tamogami Official Blog ameblo.jp/toshio-tamogami/entry-11795925941.html#cbox General Toshio Tamogami is a former career military officer of Japan Air Self-Defense Force. The news media of Japan is still being ruled by the powerful press code that was imposed by US GHQ after WW2 during the US occupation period 1945-1952. 1945 Sep 19, GHQ issued SCAPIN-33 (A Brief Explanation of the Categories of Deletions and Suppressions, dated 25 November,1946). Those newspapers that violated this press code were suspended. GHQ issued the press code for the purpose of establishing freedom of speech in Japan. (What a ridiculous contradiction!!) 30 Categories of Censorship 1. Any criticism against SCAP 2. Any criticism on The International Military Tribunal for the Far East 3. Any criticism on the fact that GHQ created the draft of the Constitution of Japan 4. Any reference to the censorship system 5. Any criticism on US 6. Any criticism on Soviet Union 7. Any criticism on UK 8. Any criticism on Koreans 9. Any criticism on Chinese 10. Any criticism on any other member of the Allies 11. Any criticism on the Allies in general (even if no country is specified) 12. Any criticism on the treatment of Japanese in Manchu 13. Any criticism on the pre-war policies of the Allied nations. 14. Any reference to the World War 3 15. Any reference to the Cold War 16. Any advertisement of a statement that defends Japan's actions in WW2 17. Any advertisement of Devine Nation Japan 18. Any advertisement of Japan Militarism 19. Any advertisement of Japan nationalism 20. Any advertisement of the Great East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere 21. Any other advertisement of Japan 22. Any justification or defense of a Japanese war criminal 23. Any report on the relationship between a US occupation force soldier and a Japanese woman 24. Any report on the status of the black market 25. Any criticism on the US Occupation Forces 26. Any exaggeration on the current status of starvation in Japan 27. Any agitation of violence or suspicious action 28. Any false report 29. Any inappropriate reference on GHQ or a local branch of the US Military Administration 30. Any announcement of an unauthorized report Over 5000 newspaper articles were censored. As a result, ordinary Japanese people were brainwashed, and thought that Japan lost the war because Japan was an evildoer nation. 4 million personal letters of ordinary Japanese people were opened and censored every month. Telephones were also tapped. GHQ hired over 5000 Japanese to conduct the censorship, forcing the government of Japan to pay high salaries for these Japanese. While this censorship continued, the Japanese news media started to censor themselves. For further information on this issue, read, "Tozasareta Gengo Kuukan (The Closed Language Space) by Jun Etou. www.amazon.co.jp/%E9%96%89%E3%81%95%E3%82%8C%E3%81%9F%E8%A8%80%E8%AA%9E%E7%A9%BA%E9%96%93%E2%80%95%E5%8D%A0%E9%A0%98%E8%BB%8D%E3%81%AE%E6%A4%9C%E9%96%B2%E3%81%A8%E6%88%A6%E5%BE%8C%E6%97%A5%E6%9C%AC-%E6%96%87%E6%98%A5%E6%96%87%E5%BA%AB-%E6%B1%9F%E8%97%A4-%E6%B7%B3/dp/4167366088
