Question:
Given the array of social (one of the lowest birthrate, extremely low immigration rate, ...), financial (huge public debt) and political (6 different prime minister in the last 5 years) problems (to name just a few) Japan is facing, do you believe Japan will collapse or it will be able to stay a major hub in Asia?
Answer:
Given that they are the only country in the world to be A-bombed, twice, plus practically flattened by conventional bombs everywhere else, yet managed to be the success they are, I would say the future is pretty bright.
We're talking about a country with little resources, that somehow has become one of the top economies of the world. Almost everyone around the world uses Japanese products, whether it be a car, a tractor, a printer, a stereo, or even just a pen.
How much can you take, yet be so successful at the same time? Not to mention healthy and happy?
So what if they have lots of PM's? Who says that having PM's or Presidents for a long time is necessarily a good thing? It's kind of good knowing that no one person gets too much of a fat head.
Debt? Lots of countries have debt. It's just numbers.
Low birthrate? And?... To me that would be a beneficial thing considering how crowded Japan can be. More space sounds like a good idea.
Low immigration rate? Yeah, that's how it is sometimes. That's funny, because a lot of countries that have higher immigration rates are full of people complaining about that fact.
How do you see your own future given your negative perspective?
