Japan was once famous for its manufacturing power worldwide. It was once the craftsman spirit , quality control, advanced and high-end, and a century-old store, which impressed the Chinese in the 1980s, so many people brought Japanese goods to China when traveling, visiting relatives, on business trips, and inspecting Japan. The most typical example is that some Chinese tourists rushed to buy Japanese toilet lids. When they went home, they opened it and found that it was "Made in China"!
In fact, after entering the new century, China's manufacturing industry has gone through the "counterfeit" stage, and the overall manufacturing industry has begun to make efforts, industrial optimization, technology improvement, R&D innovation, iterative upgrade, and product quality has been greatly improved. On the other hand, manufacturing fraud scandals have been constantly exposed, causing Japan's proud manufacturing industry to fall from the altar.
Now Japan's high-speed rail is surpassed by China, Japan's home appliances are surpassed by China, and Japan's semiconductors and mobile phones are surpassed by China and South Korea. Can the home appliance brands that are familiar to everyone in the past be seen in China, such as Sony , Panasonic , Toshiba , Hitachi , etc.? On the contrary, Chinese refrigerators, color TVs, and washing machines such as Haier , Hisense , Changhong, Gree are filled with counters in major shopping malls in Japan.
The last advantageous industry in Japan is the automobile industry. It started late in the automobile industry. Due to various factors and conditions, China has never made a breakthrough in the traditional fuel automobile industry. In particular, the engine and gearbox are protected by patent barrier . China has invested heavily, has slow results and has difficulty in progress. This road is blocked, so I’ll find another new path! China directly changed the track and developed new energy electric car . As a new trend in the development of the automobile industry, whoever slows down half a step will be eliminated in the fierce industry competition. The Chinese government and Chinese automakers are keenly seizing opportunities, increasing investment, taking advantage of the momentum, leading the industry and the entire world. The electric vehicle manufacturing industry not only requires advanced technology, cheap energy, sufficient manpower and talent reserves, and a huge market, but also a complete industrial chain. These key factors are indispensable. Looking around the world, no country except China can have such superior conditions.
Nowadays, China is far ahead in electric vehicles, and even the American electric vehicle giant Tesla has been surpassed by BYD electric vehicle . This year, BYD electric vehicles exported 100,000 vehicles to the German taxi company, a traditional automobile powerhouse. Japan's last automobile advantage industry has been surpassed by China. What is left of Japan?
