>>5745822You're a little bit of a moron.
The problem Japan has is that they've no natural resources, or at least relatively speaking. That little island nation can't manufacture shit, pretty much everything's done in China for them too. They're a culture that makes its money off the DESIGN of products.
So the problem's been that a strong yen means no one buys the shit they design, but a weak yen means they can't actually build anything.
The best situation was when USD>JPY>whatever China's currency was at the time. For Japanese products to be well priced again, they need to source out another cheap-labor source, which is why some are starting to use India, but that's a bit farther away, meaning shipping costs rise. The best thing for them is if the US somehow breaks free from their China debt and China takes a stumble economically. The second is possibly going to happen, but if the US is still indebted, the dollar will tank too.
