Japan ‐ myth or miracle?

Abstract

In the first of a three‐part series on Japanese success, suggests that Japan′s success is not based on quality but on underhand tactics set to undermine world competition. Discusses Japan and the battle for Europe. Considers the reasons for Japan′s past successes. Discusses the predatory practices favoured by the Japanese. Looks at the lessons for Europe, contending that, to Japan′s delight, Europe is following the US model. Attacks the British Government′s compliance towards the Japanese. Asserts that, once trade borders within Europe have disappeared, the Japanese will use compliant nations like the UK as a back door into a borderless Europe. Proposes measures to halt Japan′s success.
