Chapter 145 The 21st century in Asia should be clearly recognized

From the point of view of nationalism, Japan must decide how to deal with "the future of Asia" as soon as possible. Our country is in Asia, not in Europe and America.If you continue to underestimate Asia, Japan will collapse completely. However, there are still many small-minded people in Japan, who especially despise China and South Korea.Moreover, as a member of Asia, politicians and high-level leaders of the country seldom seriously consider the future trends of Asia. Looking at the rest of Asia, I worry deeply about Japan's future.If Japan does not wake up and change its consciousness, what will happen to Japan when the crisis comes?

Looking around, Japan's crisis has begun to take shape.The manufacturing center is shifting to China, the financial center is shifting to Hong Kong and Singapore, and the IT industry center is shifting to India.So, what kind of industrial center is Japan? The situation of "Sakagami Cloud" during the Meiji period in Japan can be seen in India now, and every Indian is striving to open up the future with full enthusiasm. In the past, every time I gave a speech in India, I would say, "Your problem lies with the government."I mean, "Indians themselves are fine, capable and driven. You have a lot of international talents emerging from among you, and that's the proof. But you have a population of over 1 billion and your country is not progressing. This is It's the government's fault."

But now, such speeches are no longer valid.Because there are many people with dreams in India, they don't have time to listen to what you say about the government.In other words, Indians no longer rely on the government, but concentrate on developing their own path. The English version of my book "The Mind of Strategist" (The Mind of Strategist) has sold more than 100,000 copies in India.This book was written during Japan's rapid growth period. Although it has been many years, the content in it has attracted Indians today. Indians don't complain about "what the government is doing", they only talk about their own ideas, they will keep saying "how about this idea", "what about that idea".Moreover, they talk more about China than Japan, and sometimes show a desire to surpass China.That is, they have the goal of chasing clouds upwards ("Sakagami no Cloud").

However, is there any "cloud on the Sakagami" in Japan now? If you look up, of course you can see some, but Japan is looking down, so you can't see it.If you can look up at the current world, you will find that there are many things worth learning... However, if Japan keeps looking down like this, it will definitely be eliminated by the global economy.
