Chapter 134 Why is the United States strong in the three fields of transportation, finance, and communications?

If immigrants are accepted, good people will come, and so will not good people.Also, if immigrants cannot be assimilated into Japanese culture, society will be difficult to govern. However, if you only worry about these unfavorable factors, excellent people will not come.Besides, there is no country in history that has declined because of accepting foreign laborers, and the Japanese have also made great contributions to the development of Brazil. In fact, during the period when the Japanese government continued to delay the immigration issue, there were already more than 2 million foreigners stationed in Japan.Recently, the number of Systems Engineers (SE) in India is increasing and the jobs of SE in Japan are therefore decreasing.Of course, the number of Chinese has also increased. They are not the so-called lower-class laborers in the past, but are all skilled people.The performance of Japanese companies using such human resources is improving.Mixi, the No. 1 SNS (social networking site) in Japan, also employs many Indians and Chinese.

Now you should understand why the manufacturing industry of the United States is not as good as that of Japan, but the overall economy has not lost to Japan.It is because the United States is the largest immigrant country in the world, and immigrants can continuously create new industries (Figure 9-1). The industries leading the 21st century are "service industry", "value-added industry" and "information industry".Information industry includes financial industry, communication industry and transportation industry.The strength of the United States in these three fields is very strong, and these three industries belong to the economy without borders.In other words, these industries cannot be formed without gathering excellent talents from all over the world.

Just look at the new system of FedEx and UPS, no one country can surpass the US in this regard, even Yamato Transport and Sagawa Express combined, and the people who created this system are from all over the world Talents. In the IT field, the leading companies in the IT field such as Google, YouTube, and eBay we mentioned earlier were actually initiated by the United States. At first, the Americans thought it was a promising field, so they decided to Let some people go free and eventually become a worldwide enterprise. Although the manufacturing industry in the United States is not very developed, it is very developed in the three borderless industries of "service industry", "value-added industry" and "information industry".With the development of these three industries, the US government abolished some rules and regulations, allowing enterprises to develop freely, and people from all over the world can also start their own businesses.When people come, wealth also comes.

But in Japan, neither people nor wealth came.The reason why wealth did not come is because of three points: "Japan's future is not optimistic", "there is no human resources", and "there are no interested companies". However, thinking about the 21st century, it is enough for Japan to learn from the United States. So why does the United States gather so many talents from all over the world? First of all, the United States is an open and free society, a country that actively accepts immigrants and has equal opportunities, all of which are conducive to attracting talents.However, the biggest reason is that this country has the highest level of higher education institutions in the world, which is the most favored by foreign talents.

The first-class universities and graduate schools in the United States are of the highest level in the world. Anyone who is enterprising wants to study here and become a world-class talent. Therefore, the United States has gathered international students from all over the world.Regardless of immigration, ensuring a large number of international students who are IQ-level and world-class is fundamental to the strength of the United States. This just proves the importance of education. The emergence of outstanding talents and the revitalization of emerging industries are inseparable from education.
