It's a defensive, insular military tactic that is meant to "protect" Japan economically. THE MILITARY MINDSET is behind corporate Japan + the USA to a considerable extent - especially today where everything is linked to its intelligence apparatus. THE "inherent" PROBLEM is that it is STATIC (not dynamic) + therefore, fossilized + NOT ADAPTED to today's changing, fluid economic environment. THE JAPANESE "ongoing" NIGHTMARE is THE MARKET VALUE of their assets have been on A CONTINUAL DECLINE forcing them to "adjust" their value every 6 months. As you SO CORRECTLY POINTED OUT, the keiretsu" is A BLOCK "intentionally" to foreign investment as Japan as A SERIOUS, HISTORICAL FETISH to protect its sovereignty + keeping foreigners out. ONE OF THE IRONIES of Japan is that civilian servants will "openly" display THEIR ANTI-AMERICANISM as a means of peacocking their patriotism though Japan in all aspects -especially psychologically - is A VASSAL OF THE USA: PROOF OF THIS is the Japanese student preference to study in the USA for "the prestige factor" - as has been the case in India. (Trump's anti-immigration of NON-WHITES changed that along with THE SERIOUS ABUSE OF INDIAN SOFTWARE WORKERS in the States.) IN MINIMAL WORDS, regarding India's economic future: it's "dependent" on Chinese investment. Only Chinese investment will keep the rupee from falling. Without China, India's economic future is BLEAK! TOO MANY PEOPLE, NOT ENOUGH JOBS. Mandarin needs to become the 2nd language of India. (Ha! Ha!) When it comes to foreign investment, Canada is experiencing "a honeymoon" with China: Toronto has 250 tower construction cranes BECOMING THE RICHEST CITY IN THE WORLD. Ken, Toronto, CANADA
