Chapter 133 We should be open to American learning

If I say this, many people will definitely ask: "Daqian, where should we learn from?" I would also like to ask this question to the readers of this book.Before reading my answer, please think about it for yourself. My answer is: "Now the Japanese must reset their consciousness and start learning from three places." The "three places" refer to "big countries" like the United States, "medium-sized countries" like Germany, and "small countries" like Singapore and Finland.I think we should learn from the advantages of these three types of countries and determine the direction of the country's development.

I repeat, now that the whole world is in financial crisis, the superiority of countries with high collective IQs no longer exists.However, if we want to become a "winner", we must analyze how countries with high collective IQs took the lead. If there is something worth learning, we should learn with humility. The first is the birthplace of the financial crisis - the United States. What can we learn from the United States? If we talk about the conclusion first, Japan should first learn its immigration policy from the United States, that is to say, let Japan become a "country open to the world" and gather excellent talents.

The subprime mortgage issue, the Iraq war, and the depreciation of the yen set off a strong theory of American recession.However, based on these alone, it is a bit too arbitrary to think that the United States has nothing to learn from. Today the United States still dominates 40% of the world economy.In the future, even if the power of the United States weakens, it will maintain its position as the "center of the world" until the middle of the 21st century.Moreover, the U.S. economy is mainly supported by relatively new industries such as the information industry, financial industry, and service industry, and outstanding talents will continue to emerge in these fields.

Today, the United States still gathers the best talents in the world.In other words, the biggest advantage of the United States is that no matter whether it is a native or not, as long as it is a talent, they will accept it without hesitation. Sergey Brin, one of the founders of Google, is Russian, and Steve Chen, the co-founder of YouTube, is Chinese. In short, the United States is the best at attracting the most suitable and brightest talents in the world to create added value for new industries.Hollywood also prospered through Australia, etc. The well-known king of the media industry, Rupert Murdoch, although he is now an American citizen, was originally a "wage earner" from Adelaide, Australia.Because the United States is a melting pot and a very open society, all capable people want to show their talents on this stage.

The significance of this is actually very simple. The idea of ​​"everything is done by the Japanese themselves" or "reshape the Japanese" like the current Japan cannot keep up with the trend of economic globalization. Since the world is a big market, it is a mistake to develop only by the mind and technology of one nation. Japan has a population of approximately 127 million people, which is one of the largest in the world as a nation.However, this alone is not enough.Because even China, the most populous country in the world, is constantly amassing talents, and Singapore, with a population of only 4 million, is also desperately recruiting talents from all over the world.

After all, what is the conclusion? - Open to the world and actively accept immigrants. The era of keeping immigrants out is over.
