Japan was changed in 1985 after the Reagan Nakasone summit and "Plaza Accord" by setting up Yen much higher to stop the Japanese industries and economy. As the result all industrial business moved to Taiwan, Korea and China. And Japan was in recession almost 40 years....

With high population, limited space and challenging geography, we just don't have much potential at home. Some technologies are close to fully exploited. Basically all possible large scale HEP dams are built by WWII, and suitable sites for PVs are harder to find day by day (that said, we still beat Germany in solar capacity by wide margin). Not to mention Japan is already among the most energy efficient countries. What's left is really wind power, but unlike Europeans we have to cope with earthquake, heavy storms and deep seabed before safely deploy those wind turbines. Or maybe geothermal and nuclear. Beyond that it has to be imported somewhere, be it fossil fuels, biomass or hydrogen - unless we kill ourselves lol

As the U.S.-China rivalry intensifies, Washington’s strategy to outpace China in technologies like semiconductors, AI, and clean energy will incentivize Japan to further align its policies with the U.S., by providing viable alternatives to Chinese technology and investments. For example, the U.S. will offer more competitive options in areas where Japan relies on Chinese products. Additionally, the U.S. will demonstrate a stronger commitment to supporting Japan through thick and thin. Earlier this year, the U.S. and Japan had agreed on new subsidy rules for strategic goods such as semiconductors, storage batteries and permanent magnets, setting shared standards for the incentives they use to avoid overreliance on China.

Yeah, Japan has always had huge problems with food and energy security, but if they could build up full verticals in key sectors like semiconductors that everyone else relies on, that's one area they already excel at (manufacturing hi-tech hardware) that could make them much more independent, and at the same time indirectly more food- and energy-secure by merit of how much any other country with any resource (food, energy, etc.) needs those key products like semiconductors, etc. That's probably the smartest thing they could possibly invest in that I can think of.

Japan has always been confused because the United States is a country that has never experienced feudalism.

Japan made its decision in 2010. Shinzo Abe is the reason the United States weren't surpassed by China. Like the awesome ally they are, Japan woke the United States up to the threat of China. Which caused Obama (2011-2012) to shift American policy from Europe and the Middle East to the Indo-Pacific; and, why the CCP allowed for a celebration of Abe's assassination during "Zero Covid." Unlike Europe, Japan would never choose Chinese money and business over its relationship with America. Which is why Japan is never a divisive issue in our politics.

Japan choosing the US is a no-brainer really. Apart from the obvious military advantages, it also makes sense since the US is allied to the Philippines. Why is that important you ask? Because in the event of a blockade in the Bashi Channel, the Philippines can open up various lanes for innocent passage, primarily in the 2 other channels in the Luzon strait. And this is what people tend to forget. The Luzon strait is not just the Bashi Channel, it’s 3 parallel channels and two of those are Philippine internal waters. Those are the Balintang channel and the Babuyan Channel. And that’s not even counting the various other options in the mainland like the San Bernardino strait, exiting the Guimaras strait into the Sulu sea. Fuel consumption may increase a bit but Japan will not be totally cut off. And that’s also why Japan invests a lot in the Philippines. Because it just makes so much sense strategically. There’s a huge reason why some of the world’s biggest naval battles occurred there, like the well known and well studied Battle of Leyte Gulf.

It is still too early to say Japan has conclusively chosen the US as its sole partner albeit at this juncture it is the favored choice. Increasingly the pain inflicted on Japan by US monetary and foreign policy is becoming more and more intolerable....All one need to see is the relentless decline of the Yen and Japan is also not allowed to do anything to support it. Its recent attempts to do so by selling its massive US Treasury holding got a rebuke form Janet Yellen and subsequently, it is now listed in the US currency manipulator list? Whether one wants to admit it or not the world sees the US as a declining empire....and the crushing defeat of Ukraine proxy war may just be another catalyst for close US allies to reset their relationship with China....while slowly distancing themselves from the US.... The US really has to play its game right to gain the confidence of the world not only its allies as it is losing its geo-political battle against Russia and China... Instead, it has been committing one foreign policy blunder after another....

Japan has more or less stagnant for 30 years. The government is bankrupt, supported by QE and savings of Japanese households. Japan is militarily and economically controlled by the USA, which had nuclear bombed it and "Plaza Accord" it. Japan is moving gradually from 1st world to 3rd world, as far as living standards for it's people.

Japan is a poor resource nation. China has vast resources.

All indicators suggest so that Japan might be coming back.

I find it hilarious how all the reasons given for why Japan would do well are the SAME things China has been doing/using, which the US complains about but is apparently okay with Japan doing lol. Depreciated currency? Yep, the US has been complaining about the Chinese doing that with the Yuan for years. Low wages, paid in a lower value currency to an army of engineers? Check, all the same in China. Industrial agglomeration wherein you have all the suppliers together in one place? Check, this is why China still dominates manufacturing despite it not having the lowest wages in the world anymore. Ease of construction and lax environmental laws? Double check, hilariously the west actually uses that second fact to criticize China lol! And finally public support lmao?!! This is the biggest talking point that the US and now Europe are raising a stink over wrt China, yet apparently welcome from Japan? Talk about hypocrisy..

Japan has increasing maritime power against China in the Pacific, actively participating in initiatives such as the "Shiprider Agreement" spearheaded by the United States. This program allows Japanese law enforcement officers to be hosted on U.S. Coast Guard vessels, enabling them to enforce Japanese maritime laws aboard these ships. Japan has joined the United States in the "Partners of the Blue Pacific" initiative, to improve the policing of vast oceanic territories, especially against Chinese fleets.

Japanes military has gain independence. Some hope that Japan will grow to fight for themselves and be their allies Or will Japan with independence of military can soon roll over to the bigger economy and do economic development and growth rather than war mongering to supress neighbouring countries like China or Asean. My point is this Japan will not want to roll into stagnation but now its ther chance to grow into business development with Asia. Sooner or later Taiwan S Korea Singapore Indonesia will roll into more business growth with its neighbour.

How much that had been said from the last 30 years and still China move forward and Japan see the sunset.

US or China? No. That's not how you play the game. US weakening itself while fighting China, then Japan break free.

Japan's foreign policy decisions are not economic, rather they're always based on national security concerns. Japan signed 3 alliances with the UK, Germany, and the US in the 20th century to counter the encroachment of Imperial Russia and Soviet Union in East Asia. Wars with the Qing Dynasty (1894) and Imperial Russia (1904), full annexation of Korean peninsula (1910), funding of the Chinese Revolution (1911), and establishing Manchukuo (1931)...were all meant to keep the Russians/Soviets out of Korean peninsula and Inner Manchuria. This path was set after Imperial Russia seized Outer Manchuria (aka Russian Far East) from the Qing Dynasty in the 1850s & 1860s. And 1/3 of all Japanese ground forces were stationed in Hokkaido, adjacent to Soviet Union, in preparation of a Soviet invasion during the Cold War. What has changed since the end of the Cold War was that Chinese have become increasingly more imperialistic in their behavior. But what some foreigners fail to understand is that Japan has never had friendly relations with China since the 7th century, when the Tang Dynasty invaded Japanese vassal on the Korean peninsula. Thus far, Japan has fought 5 major wars with whomever was ruling China. After wars with the Tang Dynasty in the 7th century, war with Mongol Yuan Dynasty in 13th century, Ming Dynasty in late 16th century, Manchu Qing Dynasty in late 19th century, and war with Republic of China in the 1930s & 1940s. Sorry to burst your bubble, but the US is just an afterthought. We've never had friendly relations with or trusted the Chinese ever since the 7th century. Be it Americans, Russians or Indians, whatever works, we'll gladly form ties to counter threats to Japan. Again, Japan's decisions are almost never economic, rather they're solely based on countering existential threats to Japan.
