According to the Fukui Shimbun’s report on February 10, the oral medicine "Itraconazole Tablets" produced by the Japanese pharmaceutical company "Kobayashi Chemical" in Fukui Prefecture is actually mixed with hypnosis. Inducer ingredients.

After the accident, Fukui Prefecture immediately ordered Kobayashi Chemical to suspend business for 116 days in accordance with the Pharmaceuticals and Medical Devices Act.
This is the longest administrative penalty for pharmaceutical companies in Japanese history!
The director of the Fukui County Health Bureau read out the suspension penalty in person
What did the person in charge of Kobayashi Chemical have done? It’s hard to say; to be sure, in the press conferences, there are no less bow.
The current factory director Hiroyuki Kobayashi said: "We are wrong, and we realize that social responsibility is very important."

This incident of Kobayashi Chemical involves their long history of fraud since the last century.
Since the end of 1970, some of their product quality inspections have stopped.It also opens the door to falsification at will. Of the 500 medicines, 80% are substandard fake medicines.
Unexpectedly, the real medicine has become a rare product.
From product to management, they committed eight deadly crimes:
The employees neglied to make mistakes in the ingredients of the medicines, and the executives knew it well but acquiesced in fraud. The pharmaceutical process violated regulations. They used the Yin-Yang account book to deal with the inspection. Goods...
After reading this in one go, I couldn't believe my eyes.
The truth? Happened in Japan?
Speaking of Japanese products, even Pharaoh, who has never used Japanese products next door, can tell you two things: I have heard of it, the quality is good!
"Even if you only use the toilet for a lifetime, you must be the best in the world!"
Who hasn't read a few short stories about "Japanese craftsmanship"? The dishes are brushed eight times, the toilet is brushed five times, and the toilet water can even be drunk...
As large as industrial production, as small as building a house, there are people who dissected it carefully: Japanese, do everything diligently! Look at this process...
Being meticulous until melancholy is a natural attribute of the Japanese.
"Made in Japan" is a symbol of high quality. Repeatedly appearing in foreign media has almost become a research topic.
Everyone wants to get relatives with it, The Washington Post of the United States once published an article saying that "the quality of Japanese goods is taught by the Americans."
Good guy, his face is full of desire.
Washington Post
"Japan Times" published an article: What does "Made in Japan" mean? Represents outstanding design and high quality.
There is also someone who writes a book about Japanese people's views on product quality, and talks about it as a college question.
Japanese cars,Cosmetics, household goods, etc., are sold overseas and are hailed as the best products in various countries.
In terms of pharmaceuticals, Japan is the world's third largest pharmaceutical market, with total pharmaceutical sales of 78.3 billion U.S. dollars (IMS) in 2015, and the market size is second only to China and the United States.
However, such a powerful industry was plucked out of rotten wood eroded by ants, devastated, and played with the world for more than 40 years...
Except for Kobayashi Chemical, "Made in Japan" has collapsed across the board.
In 2016, Mitsubishi Motors admitted that they were cheating and had cheated for 25 years.
In the fuel efficiency test of 4 minicars, they tampered with the fuel consumption data.
Further investigation found that this "acknowledgment" is only a small slap, and Mitsubishi actually has more than 10 models that have not been tested in accordance with Japanese specifications, but more than 2 million cars have been sold...
Mitsubishi Motors Various scandals had been exposed in 2000, such as concealing customer complaints for a long time and covering up product defects.

At the press conference, President Tetsuro Aikawa and the executives also bowed deeply.
Mitsubishi is far from accidental. The Japanese auto industry, a group of young and old, without innocence, has all been exposed to scandals:
Suzuki fuel efficiency fraud, executives bowed deeply.
Nissan cars are fraudulent in terms of exhaust emissions and fuel consumption. Unqualified and unqualified quality inspectors participate in the vehicle factory inspection and change the unqualified data to qualified.

Scandal carries through the past and present,What else can you say? Nissan executives bowed deeply, "I know that I was wrong."
Subaru is also responsible for the quality inspection scandal. The fraud incident lasted 15 years, involving multiple internal employees, and 250,000 vehicles were recalled. After
, the brake detection broke out again is also a violation.
executives bowed deeply.
The god of perfect steel, the "Kobe Steel Works" whose products are popular all over the world, produces steel products that are used to make cars, boats, and airplanes. However, it has been exposed that product specification data is falsified, shoddy, and thickness Selling unqualified steel plates to overseas giants throws the global industrial chain into chaos.
This incident caused a huge sensation. President Kawasaki Hiroshi resigned, and the company sold assets to repay the fine...
The bowing is indispensable.
As soon as the "steel door" came out, scandals continued. The MOL Comfort container freighter built by Japan's Mitsubishi Heavy Industries in 2008, which was five years old, broke into two pieces on its own. This is the first time in human history, unique in the world!
It is very difficult to break this record...
After the hull broke, Japan spent a lot of money and diplomatic resources to drag a section of the broken hull from the western Indian Ocean to its mainland.
The money spent on this "tourism" turned the Japanese steel industry into a capitalized "loss"...
This incident has brought "Made in Japan" off the altar . The Western media no longer buzz, and now searches are all cold criticisms of "Japanese quality."
CNBC said that the quality of Japanese cars has fallen below the industry average.
The New York Times published an interesting article,"The quality of Japan is declining."
Japan is a country that pursues perfection. Tokyo's subways and trains run like clockwork, accurate to the minute. The TV factory sent workers to wipe the TV with a rag over and over again, and no fingerprints could appear, otherwise consumers would return the goods.
What is the situation now?
After recalling inferior cars, Toshiba recalled 340,000 Sony laptops and Sony recalled 5.9 million batteries...

News is broadcast on the radio, talk shows, newspaper headlines scrolling, used to "high" The Japanese with the honor of “Quality” was suddenly panicked, and even the conversation in the noodle shop was full of sadness.
The faces of the Japanese were all lost, and they felt that they were being laughed at by the Koreans and by the Chinese. They accused "Japanese young people of being too lazy" and accused "American management of corruption."
This sense of crisis even spread to the classroom. Diligent students, high-scoring schools, recent test scores have dropped continuously, lower than South Korea, Singapore, these rival countries.
A person in charge of the top Tokyo Institute of Technology said: "In the past, many students wanted to join the manufacturing industry, so they did everything they could to study. Now, the scandal is chilling, no one wants to sweat."

Someone asked: Why are these Japanese companies fraudulent, it took more than ten years and decades to be discovered? Isn't this a skill?
This... can't really be called a skill.
Today's decadent scene, the reason for is that Japan's industrial upgrading advantage is gradually losing.
Japan rose relatively early, caught up with the last train of the colonial era, and completed industrialization. Japan masters monopoly technology, which is called "innovation". Relying on this technology, Japan has made huge profits from it.
However, the first mover advantage will always disappear. With the rise of China and South Korea, Japan found that its own level could not be too high. Wang Gaoli said that there is no developed European and American industrial chain, and it has been abused by previous "low-level" neighbors. Innovation can not keep up, and the sense of existence is reduced.
In order to ensure that the "craftsmanship spirit" that has been exaggerated for hundreds of years, the personal settings such as "cooking people" and "toilet pacesetter" still exist, and Japan has begun to actively or passively use fraud to do business.
In the end, Japan developed from the "craftsman spirit" to the "bow craftsman spirit", and its perfunctory words and deeds made people spurn: lie to change the data, and then bow -
is like a handsome once shining light The prince suddenly turned out his suit label and said: "Look, my high-end clothes are pirated."
If ideology cannot catch up with productivity, I am afraid that this illusion will not last long. The moment of even more collapse is waiting in the future.
