Again SB, wishful thinking because: (a) Japan had never 33% of global manufacturing (b) Japan never had 33% of global trade. (c) Japan did not have a BRI (d) Japan did not have 1.4 billion population domestic market (e) japan did not have a command economy (f) Japan did not have the ability to seperate itself from the USA (Japan sunk at the same time as did the USSR/Berlin Wall and once that happened (end of Cold War) the US stopped supporting Japan as it did Sweden ....Jap manufacturers quickly went multinational to survive. Volvo cars and Saab cars etc went broke because up to then they has full access to the US market )
