On the evening of August 23rd, 20265438+0, Zhu, the women's trampoline champion of Tokyo Olympic Games, spoke on social media: The gold medal made in Japan was easily stripped off. She didn't mean to. She just thought the gold medal was dirty, so she rubbed it a little, and a surface coating disappeared.
You know, Japan has been boasting about the "superiority" of the medals in the Tokyo Olympic Games-5,000 medals are made of precious metals extracted from 78,985 tons of discarded electronic waste. But the problem is that "Made in Japan", which has always been famous all over the world, can't do it this time. The Tokyo Olympic Organizing Committee even publicly shouted to the athletes: Don't "bite the medal" when receiving the prize.
In contrast, the "gold inlaid jade" medal of the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games is "once you have it, you want nothing more", which is very reliable in impact resistance and safety. Even the medal ribbons are treated with high-tech nano-technology, which can not only be waterproof, moth-proof, antifouling and fireproof, but also never fade.
On October 7th, 20265438+0/KLOC-0, Moscow time, an unfortunate thing happened to Shu Kuirigna, who won the rhythmic gymnastics championship in Beijing Olympic Games. A fire broke out in her apartment, and the cupboard for storing valuables in her bedroom was completely burned down. The only thing intact is the gold medal she won in 2008, and even the ribbon remains basically the same, which is a miracle.
The medals in the Beijing Olympic Games can be described as real gold that is not afraid of fire. In contrast, the medals in Dong 'ao are both poor and fall in price.
This 13 year also witnessed the process of "Made in Japan" stepping down the altar step by step. Especially in recent years, "Made in Japan" has dropped its chain more and more times:
In 20 15, takada officially admitted that its airbags had fatal defects and apologized to the public under heavy pressure.
20 16 In April, Mitsubishi Motors admitted that it has been using illegal experimental methods different from the regulations to falsify fuel consumption data since 199 1. In order to make the four models produced from 20 13 meet the standards, the data were tampered with.
2065438+In June 2007, Gaotian Group filed for bankruptcy protection in Japan, and announced that KSS Company of the United States, which is controlled by Ningbo Sheng Jun Electronics, acquired its main business for15.88 million US dollars.
20 17 10, Kobe steel, the third largest steel company in Japan, admitted that its three factories and a subsidiary had tampered with the quality data of some aluminum and copper products for a long time and sold them to customers as qualified products. This fraud case led to nearly 500 companies being "recruited", including Shinkansen trains, jet regional aircraft and aviation industry. Even the Japanese Self-Defense Forces' missiles, armored vehicles and other military products have adopted these components.
20 17, 165438+ 10. In October, Toray, a Japanese chemical fiber giant with a history of 9/kloc-0, admitted that its subsidiary Toray Hybrid Line, which produces tire raw materials, fabricated its product quality data from April 2008 to July 20 16./kl
20 17-20 18 A scandal of tampering with product data broke out in Mitsubishi Materials Corporation, a Japanese nonferrous metal giant. Because Mitsubishi Electric Wire Industry and Mitsubishi Shentong tampered with product data, nearly 300 companies were affected, even involving ships and aircraft engines of the Japanese Self-Defense Force.
20 18 Kawasaki heavy industries illegally thinned the chassis, which caused the chassis of JR west Japan shinkansen to break.
From June 20438 to October 2020/kloc-0, the famous Japanese dairy brand "Yin Xue" recycled about 400,000 cans of liquid baby milk due to quality problems. The reason for the problem is that small pieces of metal cans may be mixed in the milk, which brings safety hazards to the baby.
In February, 20021year, Kobayashi Chemical Company, an old Japanese pharmaceutical company founded in 1946, was exposed to a 40-year fraud scandal. Because of a series of illegal operations, an oral antifungal drug produced by it caused 239 patients' health damage. It is understood that Kobayashi Chemical Co., Ltd. mixed the hypnotic ingredients 2.5 times the maximum limit set by Japan in the process of manufacturing these drugs.
"Made in Japan" frequently smashed its own signboard, which actually caused a * * * shock with the decline of Japan's national movement.
1. Since the economic crisis broke out in 2008, Japan's manufacturing industry began to decline and never recovered. Objectively speaking, the accelerated appreciation of the yen, the downward trend of the world economy and the change of market wind direction have all dealt a blow to Japanese manufacturing.
The most serious problem is that the aging of Japanese population continues to accelerate. In recent years, the number of births per year is less than 1 10,000, which has serious consequences. Without demand, there will be no market, which will eventually be transmitted to the manufacturing end.
3. The efforts of several generations and the pursuit of craftsman spirit have gradually faded away, and "Made in Japan" has also declined. The big scandal made in Japan began to appear around 2002. Perhaps the most important reason is that the most dedicated generation has gradually withered after Japan's defeat.
Of course, the thin camel is bigger than the horse, and there are 3 thousand nails on the broken boat.
Although "Made in Japan" collapsed downstream, it still occupies an important position in the upstream of the industrial chain.
For example, "Made in Japan" is still famous for its precision optical instruments. Japan's camera lenses and video cameras have an absolute leading edge, and many hospitals around the world are using precision medical equipment developed in Japan.
There are 39 Japanese companies in derwent Top 2018-2019 Global Innovation Institutions 100, ranking first in the world. There are only three companies in Chinese mainland, namely Huawei, BYD and Xiaomi.
However, it is obvious that Japan's advantage cannot be maintained forever. No matter the number of science and engineering talents, investment or market potential, the future does not belong to Japan.
