Chapter 157 Differences between Asian leaders and Japanese politicians

Many leaders in various fields in Asia have studied in Europe and the United States.In other words, there are many people with "global qualities". Former Prime Minister Lee Kuan Yew of Singapore was an overseas student at the University of Cambridge in the United Kingdom. President Arroyo of the Philippines was a classmate of Clinton at Georgetown University, and Yudhoyono of Indonesia received an MBA degree from Webster University in the United States. Many of Asia's leaders have studied abroad, with the exception of China, South Korea and Japan.United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon graduated from Harvard University. In the future, there will be more leaders studying in Europe and the United States in South Korea.

However, only the Japanese political arena does not have such "global quality" people.I think this is because the collective IQ of Japanese people is very low.If you look at the resumes of several prime ministers in recent years, you will find that Koizumi was an international student at the University of London, Abe was an international student at the University of California, and Taro Aso once studied at Stanford University and the University of London.They all have the experience of studying abroad in Europe and America, but I want to know what they have learned while studying abroad.

In short, almost all Japanese politicians only have the "three artifacts" of "site, kanban, and package", and they do not have the real "three artifacts" of "IT, English, and finance" that college students should have. From the perspective of international quality, if the quality of the leaders is different, then the citizens will be different, and the country will naturally be different. It's just that if this quality develops too fast, that is to say, if only the leader moves forward with the world, then the people will turn their backs on him.

In this case, Lee Kuan Yew's "dictatorship" approach can be adopted.However, dictatorship is an outdated system. In today's Internet age where collective IQ can be improved, this approach is very unrealistic.Therefore, it is ideal to improve the collective IQ of the citizens to a certain extent and lead the citizens to move forward on this basis. In short, Japanese politicians are very lacking in the knowledge and qualities common to the world today.Japan's postwar politics has been dominated by home-grown Japanese leaders until now.Today, with the rapid development of globalization, this kind of leader is obviously no longer applicable, but they themselves and the people are not aware of it.

The quality of Japanese politicians is very different from that of the leaders of other Asian countries.But there is no way to do it. If they say it is to maintain the same level as the nationals, then I have nothing to say.
