Chapter 38 Japan's leaders have been slow to progress since the Edo period

However, as mentioned at the beginning of this chapter, the government publicly declared that it would "restrain foreign investment" and implement policies such as "consumer protection", "labor protection" and "protection of the weak", all of which were measures taken to regulate the system . Although this may be caused by Japan's own national system, what I want to point out here is that none of those who formulated these policies made a suggestion about "carrying forward Japan's economic advantages". And money flows are always indifferent.

Needless to say, the Fukuda and Aso cabinets, there are no such people even in government agencies and people of insight.In this way, the purpose of their discussion and research is no longer "how to develop the industry", but "how to make the industry more standardized".Now, even developing countries are racing to pursue their own goals. I think this will surprise Japan, who is hesitant. It seems that in the opinion of politicians and officials, "Although foreign investment is restricted, if left unchecked, there will still be bad consequences, so various rules must be made." This reminds me of the history of Japan What I read in textbooks (these two reforms were unsuccessful), and I am afraid that I am the only one who can think of this.

In my opinion, Japan's leaders have never progressed since.
