Comparison of China and Japan Economy
The similar of China and Japan economy in 20th centry
• In 20th centry, China and Japan had similar stage of
economic development and growth partterns. There was no
advantage of high-end product.
• China and Japan faced closed international environment and
trade surplus with the United States increased. The
exchange rate appreciated under external pressure.
Comparison of China and Japan Economy
The differences of China and Japan economy
• From the aspect of international market, Japan focus on
produce their own brands. However, China pay more
attention to the global industurial chain instead of own
brands.
• Japan’s company pay more attention to combine the Neoconfucianism
Comparison of China and Japan Economy
• In the development of new technologies, China depends on
the foreign production technology. Japan is focusing on the
development of independent intellectural property rights.
• Japan is a country which is lack of resources. The
utilization of resources is high though the resources are
heavily dependent on import. China is rich in resources, but
the efficiency is not high.
Comparison of China and Japan Economy
• China and Japan’s survival rates are different under a
significant change of external condition. The survival rate of
Japan is very high due to its strong independent innovation
capability.
• China’s economic development relies on the support of
foreign trade growth. Japan’s economy depends on the
domestic support.
conclusion
• No permanent “miracle” economy model
• Japan as the leader in flying geese, still have to get rid of
role of “medium” between Asia and US
•
China still work on labor issues, social welfare issues, and
cultivating more domestic enterprise(increase domestic
demand),etc.
• Next decades, Is China the world's next superpower?
