Independent is a far right UK paper but I do sense rising right wing sentiment in the US.
Independent is actually far left. I am following UK politics a lot ;) . They hate Tories down to the bone

As usual, it is always about the economy. And with such a high inflation.... Biden is in trouble. He urgently needs something to be done in order to reduce inflation such as *cough*beg Xi for help...

They number one problem for the Japanese economy is the deflation.

With their debts which are high, it takes more effort to find money to repay the debt. Using money to pay off the debt, is a drag on the economy because that money could have been used to make investments, to push the economy forward with growth and productivity.

All the money in Japan goes to pay the debt since the bubble burst 2½ decades ago. Hence the deflation. It feeds on itself.

Japan just seems to be trapped in that classical debt deflation spiral.

So they print money and do the infrastructure investments, to breakout from the deflation. Japan interest rates have been at zero, because of deflation.


There is a theory that deflation and low economy growth is caused by a declining population in Japan. Do not know if that is true or not.
The true reason for the Japanese decline? Plaza Accords.

With that, America not only disembowelled Japanese enterprise and their economy, it also neutered their national spirit. Before that the Japanese were on the ascendency and basically beating America at everything they focused on, with the same work ethnic but no population collapse.

The Japanese nation today have no fire, direction or drive left. How could you when your master will come and chop your balls off as soon as you show any signs of growing a pair? Without that is it any wonder they are stagnating? Their entire nation is basically in a collective mental state of deep depression, hence a lack of will to even make babies or even to continue living, as the alarming numbers if their suicide rate shows.

Their entire society has been reshaped into a perfect subservient white worshipping servant culture. The only time they seem to show any spirit or passion is when they are trying to kick down their fellow Asians like Koreas, Chinese and Philippinos etc to maintain their top pet position with their American masters.

That’s the core reason why their economy and demographics are circling the toilet with no signs of recovery.

That has got to be a concern for the "past their best Rugby players" from the West that go to Japan and earn fantastic amounts of money playing for company sponsored teams.

You just described an enslaved society.

It's not an exaggeration to say that being conquered destroys a nation and people, much as the Romans conquered and destroyed the Gauls, the nation of japan is dying as people do when they are broken and enslaved.

As the controversy over a video from last June showing a maskless Minister of Health and Welfare Chen Shih-chung (陳時中) singing karaoke songs continues, one of the revelers Chen has been partying with has been revealed to be a Chinese civil servant.
The real identity of the female partygoer seen in the video that netizens have dubbed the “long-haired mysterious beauty” (長髮美魔女) has been revealed as one Chen Hsiao-chen (陳曉蓁). Chen Hsiao-chen is not only the former chief executive of the job hunting platform 1111, but she is now the deputy director of a commerce bureau in China located in Pingtan in Fujian province, which is in violation of cross-strait regulations because she's Taiwanese.
Lol, it seems DPP might be full of comrades who serve in silence on the hidden front.

The true reason for the Japanese decline? Plaza Accords.

What I remember of the Plaza Accords, there should be two main points.

1) adjust the trade balance which was deeply in favour of Japan at the time

2) agreement towards new levels for the exchange rates between USD, Yen, Euro.

We have to remember, that at that time Japan had two bubbles. ONE in the real estate market. TWO in the stock market.

When the Plaza Accords went into effect, the exchange rate strengthening of the Yen, burst the twin bubbles in Japan of real estate and the stock market, ushering in deflationary forces, which in turn produced the lost decades.

If people are depressed in Japan, who can blame them? The Japanese fighting deflation and economy has been stagnant for 20 plus years.

That is not to say the Plaza Accords did anything for the trade balance, Japan's trade surpluses remained.


The only thing I can really comment on the cultural aspects of this ancient history, is that Japan got outsmarted by the Americans with the Plaza Accords.

Then later, China became the world's second largest economy blowing by Japan. China had outsmarted Japan.

Since America cannot get any traction on China in the trade war and tech war today, clearly in Japanese eyes, China is going to outsmart the Americans.

What the Japanese hold dear and true, that is proving to be a false god. Little wonder if culturally they having their daddy issues.

:D
