One of the secrets of success of the Japanese is that they do not have Jews to suck their blood, the second is in the discipline (often exceeding the limits of normal) not in creativity.
They are not innovators, they just copied what was invented in the west. So, the conclusion is that they have a great talent development of others' inventions. Also, isolation is an advantage for them, not a handicap.

One way or another,Japan,Korea and South East Asian countries are heavily influenced by the Middle Kingdom(this is the way Chinese call the Greater China).

Anyway,i admire the Japanese in general,they have great cuisine and probably the Highest Average Life Expectancy worldwide(Keep in fact that they smoke like chimneys too).


For me Japan equals with the best electronics,cars and high-tech products in general.
Every Canon product i ever bought works up to date...even after a decade of hard and complex use...in contrast with Philips peace of crap electronics...

To be honest,Japan was the only Axis country i felt sympathetic towards them,even though we must not forget the atrocities against the Chinese population of Nanking.

Japanese are very strong people who fight against all odds and one way or another in the end they survive and prosper.

I feel sorry for their financial problems during the last two decades and i wish they make it through this like they did after Nuclear bombing,earthquakes etc.

I'd like China not to destroy the Japanese but take them under their arm and live peacefully and without armed conflicts between them.

Japans debt makes Greece's debt look small. Surprised the Country hasn't collapsed yet.

Yep, the Chinese will love the Japanese long time. Especially after Shanghai and Nankin. You can count on that!

They have capital and they owe a big part of the debt to their own people. Asian societies also have high savings rates.

In reality they are in a much better position than Western Europe and the US.

Yes, it's true. I'm thinking more of their ascent from the ashes after WW2.
So this crisis is nothing new for them. Their main problem is overpopulation.

I love Japanese people.



This is one of the most important events in Turkish-Japanese relations
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ottoman..._Ertu%C4%9Frul





Ottoman Ertugrul Frigate;

Sultan Abdulhamid Khan, who came to the throne in 1876, decided to develop Ottoman relations with the Empire of Japan, which was on the rise in the Far East. These relations, which commenced with a visit by the training ship ‘Seiki’ in 1878, developed rapidly and were further strengthened when the Meiji emperor gave the sultan the Japanese Order of the Crysanthemum, the empire’s highest honor, in return for which the sultan gave him a ‘Murassa Nişanı’ of the first degree. It was following the visit of the Meiji emperor’s uncle, Prince Komatsu, in September 1887 that Abdulhamid II made the decision to send a ship to Japan.

The vessel chosen was the frigate Ertuğrul. Despite objections raised on the grounds that it was old and in disrepair, the 79-meter vessel set sail from Istanbul on July 14, 1889, with a crew of 609 under the command of Commodore "Osman Beg". The ship eventually reached Tokyo’s harbor of Yokohama at the end of a lengthy voyage that was intended to take three months but ended up taking eleven due to a series of accidents and other setbacks.

The crew of the Ertuğrul presented the honors and gifts they had brought to the Emperor Meiji to great acclaim. After a stay of more than three months at Yokohama, they set sail on the return voyage. But on September 16 a strong wind blew up, turning into a typhoon towards evening. Around 9:30 that night the ship struck the Funagora Rocks at the eastern tip of the island of Oshima off the southern tip of Japan’s main island and was dashed asunder. Upwards of five hundred sailors were killed in the disaster. The 69 sailors and officers who were saved were treated by the people of Oshima and later returned to Istanbul on the vessels Hiyei and Kongo.

Despite this tragic ending, the sailors of the Ertuğrul had successfully completed their mission. And the frigate Ertuğrul, which had set out with the purpose of furthering relations between the two countries, became the cornerstone of Turkey-Japan friendship.
