Has it already been posted here that Jack Ma's Uber-for-payday-loans Ant group was shot down by Chinese financial regulators? What would have been the largest IPO in history won't be moving forward. Here's an article by Doctorow which I found interesting. He goes through the reasoning of the Chinese regulators and the differences between the financial sector policy in China and the US.

thinkin today about the last time the usa faced an economic threat from an asiatic peril and japan got slapped down in the plaza accord and had to deal with 3 lost decades as a result. does anyone have recomemndations for a good writeup on the japanese trade threat in the 80s, how the usa handled it and the aftermath?

Japan's "lost 3 decades" were mostly due her own making ( ill advised central bank monetary policies and such after the The Plaza Accord) A youtuber I follow recommended a book called "Princes of the Yen" and a documentary based on it. I have not watched it myself.

It's all Anglo-centric bullshit.Whatever happened in Japan (and whatever narrative the western media wants to spin is certainly not what actually happened) happened because of Japanese internal governance and primarily demography. Japan had 3 decades of stagnant growth because it came to the end of a post-war baby boom and its population shrank, just like what happened in every rich country, and barring the enactment of either more open immigration or some radical pro-feminist labor policy, it's not coming back. White Americans vastly overestimate America's influence on other large diversified economies.

The Japanese yen went from 250 to 100 to the dollar between 1985 to 1995, you aren’t going to have happen without a massive bubble forming. That is also the period when Japanese demographics start to heavily drop off. There is plenty to say that Japan didn’t do afterwards to help their situation but the accords and their permanent effect on both the Yen and the Japanese economy are undeniable.

I don't have the number but Japan lent out alot of "low interest rate" Yen loans to east and SEA countries before the Yen went up, so Japan wasn't exactly innocent on the raise of Yen. I have watched some Japanese financial types discussed this subject in English. I think nobody from Japan has discussed the idea that letting the central bank have so much independence was wrong. And 2, the raise of Yen was basically a very forced, man made transition of moving away from the manufacturing, heavily export dependent economy. It was possible for the US to move the manufacturing out of the country because US control the world financial system and the world currency. Japan doesn't control Jack. And even for the US, the negative impact of moving the manufacturing out finally caught up 3 decades later. The Germans understand this and they don't let the high value added manufacturing industry move out. stephenthinkpad has issued a correction as of 15:08 on Nov 12, 2020 |

But people aren't hungry, there aren't homeless everywhere, they have amazing trains all across the country. Maybe losing some decades is preferable?

In case you are being serious, Japan hide their homeless people inside internet cafe cubicles, which is just the most Japanese thing.

There's a sizeable homeless camp around the city hall in Tokyo. It's essentially underground but it's a blue tarp and cardboard box tent camp. EDIT: https://apnews.com/article/d452c1190049d94af74d393222f8c31f They were definitely some of those most well organized homeless people I've ever seen in terms of packing up their stuff.

Maybe losing some decades is preferable? is that actually true? also from what i know they've also suffered from degradation of public services from liberalization, work insane long hours for poo poo pay, costs of living skyrocketing (probably why they're having demographic problems in the first place), same disease as the west

Has anyone in the past decade criticized Foxconn/Hon Hai as sort of Taiwanese colonialist exploitation of mainland Chinese labor? I've never seen that politicized angle mentioned in English media, but if you kinda squint at it it's pretty ironic, at least at the beginning of the 2010s, for a wealthy Taiwanese corporation running industrial sweatshops in the PRC to make iPhones and other electronics for American consumers.
