I read an explanation why China has token so much ship building market share from Japan in just a few years. Outside of China produces the most steel, Japan's currency is connected to the dollar in the back end. So when the USD has high interest rate, it's impossible for a lot of production industries to have higher profit margin than plain old interest rate in USD. If the money men can freely trade their yen to the USD and let it sit in the bank to earn money faster, they would rather do that than build things day in and day out to compete with China and Korea. However when the USD eventually go back to the low interest phase, you can't really flip a switch to get your market share back, because market share is not liquid. Brand royalty is real and people have brand and country royalty to lot of stuff especially in large expensive things. Boom bust cycle that is ultimately propelled by the USD and the Feds artificially also is damaging to people's engineer careers who can't flip a switch and change to a different job. I don't know why SK's ship building industry can keep up with China, maybe it's more of a state capitalist economy than we think. stephenthinkpad has issued a correction as of 12:46 on May 19, 2024 |

South Korea and Japan are US vassals it makes sense that imperial shipbuilding should be concentrated there.

I argue it is more prevalent in professional products than consumer products. because professional products are tools, and nobody wants to relearn how to use/deal with their tools that they use to do their job. consumer products are basically toys so new features and flashy things that you wont care about in a week are part of the fun if someone can sell you a tool that you're pretty sure will be functionally the same but cheaper, brand loyalty for that professional product will not survive long term

Stringent posted:SK and Japan are both very much state capitalist economies. Can you give some examples of Japanese state intervention in manufacturing? Off the top of my head I can only remember the Japanese government brought out and consolidated all waning LCD display makers into one display company called Japan Display about 10 years ago when Japanese screens were getting killed by Samsung/LG OLED panels.

I'm not an expert or anything, so I don't know any examples of direct intervention, but the vast majority of Japanese heavy manufacturing is still held by the rumps of the zaibatsu, Mitsubishi being the most notable one, but the others that mostly went into banking and real estate still have significant investments. But yeah, like you mentioned, maintaining the Japanese domestic market through tariffs to protect domestic manufacturers has been business as usual since the end of WW2, as well as pretty much all domestic government contracts.

Mantis42 posted:i got to experience the money burning thing when i was with my gf's family in rural yunnan during the spring festival. she grew up in a prison because her dad was a guard. the prison's long been shut down but some of the employee families still live on the grounds of the otherwise abandoned administrative complex and do subsistence farming. her dad, for instance, grew mint for the market and raised chickens (i had to hold a chicken my first day there while he drained the blood from it via it's neck. i thought it was dead until it suddenly revived. i dropped it like a bitch and it knocked over the blood bowl, ran around a bunch with it's head dangling nearly off, then dropped dead), among other things. anyways, we went out to the mound where her grandma was buried, in the middle of some field the prisoners would have worked back in the day, and what they do is they clear all the grass and weeds off with a scythe, burn some incense, burn some of that paper money, lay out some food and alcohol for her and so on. they also burn some stuff for a local mountain goddess that also has a shrine there. very interesting to see up close, but gently caress was it cold and the house didn't have any kind of heating. spent the entire time doing chores, it's not as fun as stardew valley makes it look. hmmm interesting would your gfs father be interested in doing an interview with me for this article im writing about an extremely balanced and non prejudicial interpretation of how the chinese penal system works ill start by asking him how many men he shot just to watch them die

https://x.com/Politiko_Ph/status/1789926453766676850 the liberal party is now such a rump entity that it's considering not running for district-level House seats and will instead aim for the party-list representation section, which would grant it a possible three seats in the lower chamber under the best possible circumstances
