The most fundamental reason: Japan's product quality is very good, very developed technology. The overall civilian field of scientific and technological innovation strength is second only to the United States, ahead of China.
1, Japan's main products
Toyota, Honda, Nissan, Panasonic, Sony, Canon, Nikon, Hitachi ...... and other veteran Japanese companies are still in the world to occupy the forefront of the brand. Japanese people in front of product quality is a patient, refined attitude. Regardless of which product, are the attitude of excellence to breakthrough technology, especially in traditional industries. This is why Japanese manufacturing is unique in the world. It is famous for its refinement, high durability, and performance. Obviously, Japanese products are sold all over the world, and household appliances, cell phones, cars, cameras, and so on dominate the world.
Once the glory of Japanese cameras
Smartphones have replaced Japanese cameras
But this year, Japan's mid-range manufacturing has been gradually beaten by Chinese brands. Home appliances and cell phones are losing ground. Home appliances still exist in part, cell phones are basically silent. However, in the field of home appliances and cell phones Japan's core technology still exists. Cell phone brands basically no longer exist, they specialize in selling cell phone cameras, memory, display to Chinese cell phone manufacturers. Because Japan's technological leadership in the display, camera, memory is still very strong. China's own parts still can not with Japan's fine, good performance, this processing equipment is also very relevant.
The same situation, in the automotive industry is also, at present, our domestic automotive brands are still inseparable from Japan's core components: Japan Denso, Japan Aisin gearboxes, EFI systems, light diesel engines, gasoline engines, test equipment and so on. The reason is also the crystallization of Japan's industrial wisdom over the decades, China can not catch up for the time being. Because the civilian sector, private enterprises have limited funds, private companies do not have, and are not willing to waste so much money to develop their own core components, so only procurement of Japanese. Let the Chinese enterprises through the assembly first survive first.
This shows that Japan's core competitiveness in the civilian field of high technology is still ahead of China for about 20 years. Therefore, Japanese products are still very profitable market. Still sell all over the world. Economic strength is also ranked at the top.
Japan's low-end manufacturing by China beyond, Japan simply all industrial upgrading into the high-end manufacturing research and innovation: new materials, artificial intelligence, medical, biological, new energy, Internet of Things, robotics, high-tech hardware, environmental protection, resource reuse and other emerging areas.
2, the frontiers of innovation
Japan's cultural training: inspired education from an early age, pioneering brain innovation. So Japan today's innovation and science and technology achievements are very much. after 2000 until 2016, that is, this year, Japan every year at least one Nobel Prize, second only to the United States, located in the world's second.

Until 2014 it was the U.S. No.1, and after 2014 it was overtaken by Japan.
Currently, Japan is fully invested in the above twelve areas, and currently 90% has achieved the world's top three. Certain scientific research has achieved the world's first, big data cloud computing, new materials, resource reuse, energy storage, robotics and so on.

3, Japan's distress
1) military field: because it is a defeated country in World War II, Japan is restricted from developing military families. So Japan's military development is very limited. China's military field by the state single-handedly invested and responsible for the funds and talents are sufficient. So China's military field is decades ahead of Japan.
2) Civilian field: China's civilian field, funds and talents are not sufficient, coupled with decades of basic generation difference, so China's civilian field of scientific and technological content has been lagging behind Japan.
3) development trapped
Since Japan is under the product rule of the United States, the United States can never let Japan ahead of him. That's why the United States in the 1970s to sanction Japan semiconductor. Resulting in Japan by the United States to cut leeks, the future is also the same, even if Japan's scientific and technological strength exceeds the United States, will still be suppressed by the United States. China, on the other hand, will always be stable to catch up with Japan and the United States technology. Therefore, in a few decades, Japan's technology will still be overtaken by China. Unless, Japan can get rid of the colonial rule of the United States. Perhaps, only when China becomes the world's No. 1, and the U.S. national fortunes are weakened, Japan will be able to get rid of the U.S. control.
Always disliked by the United States
Groveling
To summarize, the current Japan is a period of accumulation of power, can only swallow the anger, humiliation and bide their time. As if China twenty years ago, suffered the bullying of the United States.
Japan's most urgent wish is to get rid of the U.S. control and restore freedom. If Japan is asked to give up decades of technological leadership in exchange for freedom, in exchange for the withdrawal of American troops, Japan will absolutely agree!
A: Starting in the 1980s of the last century, Japan's economy gradually approaching the United States volume, the United States of America, a paper "Plaza Accord" so that Japan's economy came to a standstill, that is, stagnation for more than 20 years. At that time, the U.S. economy suffered a major setback, while the Japanese economy is soaring, however, Japan's success is, after all, the Americans will be supported from the ruins of World War II, the U.S. is certainly not willing to let the Japanese aura over their heads, and Japan politically, economically, and militarily many lifelines are still in control in the hands of the U.S. In 1985, the U.S. and Japan, Germany, France, the United Kingdom and other five In 1985, the United States and Japan, Germany, France, Britain and other five countries in New York's Plaza Hotel signed an agreement, that is, the "Plaza Accord", after the signing of the agreement, the dollar depreciated sharply, and led to Japan's economic bubble burst, Japan began to fall into a decade-long period of economic stagnation, and later be called "the lost decade". Some people believe that the "Plaza Accord" is the United States to bring down the momentum of Japan's economic development of a conspiracy, but the lifeblood of Japan is not in their own hands, even if they know that it is a conspiracy, but also can not do anything about it. Although the Japanese economy into a long-term stagnation, but their economic scale (GDP base) is very huge, coupled with its economic diversification, ahead of the advantages, in order to maintain up to 20 years have been ranked second in the world, until 2010, China's GDP only surpassed Japan.
So why is Japan's stagnant economy still ahead of other countries? First of all, Japan's GDP base is very huge, China has a saying "the camel is bigger than the horse", Japan's economy is in stagnation, but their GDP in 1995 is still as high as 5.45 trillion U.S. dollars, equivalent to the third Germany 2.59 trillion, and the fourth France's 1.6 trillion more than not a star, these countries to be more than 1.6 trillion U.S. dollars. Secondly, economic stagnation is actually worldwide, Europe and the United States and other Western countries in this period of economic growth is not fast, Europe and the United States and other Western countries will also be affected by the negative impact of Japan's economic weakening; Finally, the Japanese companies changed the direction of the development of the strategy, that is, began to expand their strength overseas, for example, from the 1980s to the 1990s, Japanese companies entered China in large quantities to develop the country's economy. For example, in the 1980s and 1990s, a large number of Japanese companies stationed in China to develop, Nissan electrical appliances and other industrial products such as automobiles "blossomed" in mainland China .......
Now, the United States sanctioned Japan's "Plaza Accord" has become the world's countries are studying the economic development of the classic case, the United States in order to maintain its position as the world's hegemony, and will never allow any other country to overtake itself, think of the British, the Soviet Union, and other countries were subjected to U.S. sanctions, and ultimately fell into the debilitating weakness of the debilitating, disintegration of the disintegration of the, of course, Japan can not escape the clutches of the Americans! The first time I saw this, it was a very good thing that I was able to see it!
Because Japan's economic diversification, the company's business to expand out of this go. And venture capital. Invest in many large companies in the world. Many large companies behind the shadow of Japanese funds. And China's national conditions dictate that a large part of the end of the liberalization. For example, finance, resources. U.S. funds did not come in. Plus the demographic dividend. Policy and other factors. China has become stronger. And the dependence on the West is not as strong as Japan. So it's hard for the U.S. to inhibit China. Unless China itself to the traditional industrial and commercial forced to death. With the interconnected economy. *** Heng economy to the industry to death. From the outside China can absolutely resist any country!
Because since the United States below the capitalist countries, all the United States of America's power, can not be free to develop, the formation of a kind of stability. The reason why China has overtaken the second largest capitalist country and has become the second largest economy in the world is because China is the one that the US can't keep down.
After the Plaza Accord, the yen appreciated, and Japanese companies invested overseas to avoid competition between the yen and the dollar, and the Nissan brand was sold to the United States as it was, and the return on investment made a lot of money.
The Chinese people after the reform and opening up and modernization, have made the world's people note the excellent results, the important point is that we take the characteristics of the socialist economic market, the Japanese government people take the capitalist system, and with the U.S. hegemonic practices wolves for the evils of the pursuit of aggression plus conditional exploitation of other countries of the structure of the capital system, and ultimately, they aim to hurt each other to sanction each other's consistent stance. The people of all countries who love peace and development will eventually abandon them.
Britain, France, and Germany are too uncontested!
Britain, France, and Germany are not doing well.
