Despite of heavy investment in Southeast Asia, Japanese influence seems not as strong as it used to be in the 1980s & 1990s. Take for example in Singapore, many Japanese department stores closed down one after another, Sogo, Taimaru, Yaohan, Tokyu and Seiyu closed business in Singapore over past 2-3 decades replaced by Chinese department store and shops, not sure what happened. My impression is Koreans have more presence in Southeast Asia than Japanese, wherever you go, in Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, Vietnam and East Malaysia you see Korean restaurants and a lot of Korean tourists. There are many Korean factories in southeast Asia, however Japanese tourists used to be a lot but nowadays very little, you can hardy see any Japanese at tourist spots. It is true Japan has strong influence in Southeast Asia ever since 1980s, most people like to drive Japanese cars and nowadays there are more & more Japanese restaurants in Singapore and other parts of Southeast Asia. Korean and Chinese are catching up fast, more people are eating Korean food and spicy Chinese dishes, Sichuan grilled fish and hotpots (culture invasion?). Although both Japan and Korea have strong influence in Southeast Asia, don't forget ethnic Chinese exist in almost all the countries in Southeast Asia and dominate the local economy and culture since past 500-800 years. 40%-50% of Thais have Chinese heritage to some extent, many of the Thai PMs have Chinese ancestors (some of them are 1/4 or 1/2 Chinese and adopted Thai family names instead of Chinese names). Over 30% of Malaysians are ethnic Chinese who can speak Chinese dialects and Mandarin. 75% of Singaporeans are ethnic Chinese. In the Philippines there are also a lot of local Chinese who have been there for 200+ years and dominate the economy. Many of the presidents in the Philippines are Chinese or part Chinese, former President Rodrigo Duterte's grandfather is Chinese; former president Corazon Aquino is part Chinese; and former president Ferdinand Marcos was 1/2 Chinese. In Indonesia, the local Chinese population is only 1% but it dominates the country's economy. Like the Thai Chinese Indonesian Chinese have been assimilated, they don't speak Chinese and adopted Indonesian family names. As you can see how deep and strong Chinese roots and influence are in all these countries for centuries, which is impossible for Japan and Korea to match. As for the SCS conflicts, there are multiple fights among 6 countries not just with China, China inherited the 11 dash line claim from the former government of ROC (Republic of China that lost Civil War to the communists and fled to Taiwan in 1949) and reduced it to 9 dash line after settling some parts of disputes in Tonkin Bay with Communist Little Brother Vietnam in the 1970s. Despite China and Taiwan claim the entire SCS, in reality China only controls 6 islands and Taiwan controls two while Vietnam controls 26 islands and the Philippines controls 17. China wants to resolve the SCS conflicts through dialogue among all countries, and it almost reaches an agreement except for the Philippines. The US wants to take advantage of the situation to get all these countries together to fight China in the SCS, and Japan provides warships and support to the Philippines to counter China, however other than the Philippines, other countries involved such as Malaysia, Brunei, Indonesia and Vietnam take a peaceful approach on this to avoid wars. Like China Vietnam also builds runways and infrastructures on some of the islands. As both Vietnam and China are communist countries, the relationship is strong at party level with strong tie with Russia. Malaysia has strong economic tie with China, both the former and current PMs are pro-China and made multiple trips to China. Chinese EV company BYD is going to build a big factory in Thailand for making EV cars in the region, which will compete with Tesla and Japanese & Korean cars.
The funny thing about Sino-Japan competition for influence in Southeast Asia when Indonesia was planning to build its HSR, they were given 2 proposals, Japanese and Chinese proposals. The Japanese one cost around $6 Billion with 1% interest, meanwhile Chinese one was around $5 Billion with 3% interest. So Indonesia chose the Chinese proposal since they perceived it to be the cheaper one... Until they did an audit back in 2021 and found out due to some circumstances the cost had risen to around $7 Billion...with 3% interest. This will always be funny to me.
Similar story to Angola As part of the belt and road initiative, China invested in a railroad in Angola. To make a long story short, the railroad had subpar quality. This gave the US an opportunity to invest in the project.
Sour grapes! Unlike Japan China agreed to do technology sharing & knowledge transfer to Indonesians after HSR completion while Japan is unwilling to do so, which makes a big difference, that was why Indonesia chose China over Japan...as you know Indonesia has ambition of building HSR on its own in the near future.
China has huge talents, massive market potential, vast resources,superior tech, decent military(from US standards) and nukes. But Japan has unmatch diplomacy and unbeatable softpower. I'm watching Japanese Anime with Xiaomi smartphone.

Vietnam, Indonesia, Thailand , Malaysia and Singapore have extensive ties with both and managed to strike a fine balance. Just an objective take based on the news and reality on the ground.
of course, Japan is a developed nation since 80s. China has been busy trying to develop, used to have lower gdp/capita than Vietnam in 80s. China is still developing and no where near the 22k/capita to be considered fully developed. Even Taiwan and South Korea have more influence in ASEAN.

Even the JICA-funded classrooms in some schools here in the Philippines are still being used to this day. China was relatively late in terms of investing in the Philippines, while Japan has been doing it for 60 years.☺️🇵🇭
Well it depends on the market, what’s true is that japan soft power kinda has more presence on ASEA, and also maybe motorbike, I mean they mock Indonesia’s president on social media just because they choose China to built their HSR. Pd: Japan’s soft power is begging to create brain root among the world, really it’s sad that when they see any Asia’s mythology or ancient/medieval content they replies, “it’s that Japanese? It’s that a katana ? “
As far as I know many people in Southeast Asia hate Japan because Japan keep dumping highly nuclear water into the sea. Not to mention that Japan cars are for the past. Chinese EVs are taking more and market share in Southeast Asia. Japan’s dominance in Southeast Asia is going down slowly.
China's Fuqing Nuclear Power Plant is releasing more than twice as much tritium into the ocean as the Fukushima nuclear plant. Much of the criticism of Fukushima is just propaganda fueled by Chinese people on social media. First of all, only treated water from Fukushima that has been tested for many years by various research institutes, including the IAEA, and that has been found to be harmless is discharged into the ocean, and the practice of discharging treated water into the ocean is not only done in Japan, but in countries all over the world. It is not fair for Japan to be the only one to receive criticism, and those who criticize Fukushima are just being fueled by Chinese propaganda. Even the Korean government independently tested Japanese seafood about 50,000 times, but never found any contaminated fish. And is there any evidence that people in Southeast Asia hate Japan because of treated water? Have you gone to Southeast Asia and asked them?
The majority of SE Asian leaders have partial or full Chinese ancestry, whether or not they acknowledge it in the public. The same for the business community. They certainly empathize deeply with their ancestral homeland. Japanese products like MUJI, Uniqlo, Toyota and Honda are still favored, but American and Chinese companies are the preferred option for smartphones, laptops, computers, not to mention electric vehicles.
As of February 2024, Japan's national debt was 1,286.45 trillion yen ($8.6 trillion), which is more than double the size of its economy. This debt is one of the highest among developed nations and is the highest debt-to-GDP ratio in the world. In 2022, Japan's government debt to GDP was 263.90%, an all-time high, and Trading Economics projects it will reach 268% by the end of 2024.
I don´t know which country is worst in terms of the national debt, USA or Japan? Here, The United States owe 35 trilllion dollar, and "pay" 1 trillion dollar each 100 days just the cover interest of its debt.
Relevance? It's a bit more complicated than that. Most of Japan's debt is domestic. Because Japanese interest rates have been so low for so long, many Japanese savers prefer buying Japanese savings bonds as they at least have some yield.
@@Bunnyroo7 - It does not matter much, it is a six of one and half a dozen of the other, both countries are in very bad shape and there is no other way to describe it. 😀
Correct. China installed more robots in their factories than the next 4 countries combined. With the recent advances of their ai industry, some of their robots gained consciousness and started watching UA-cam videos and commenting on them. They truly are living in the future.
It's believe a country will be united if everyone have the common enemy. Hence history books in school keep remind us about the enemy of the past. Most of SEA countries had European colonizer with bigger influence who can fill that role, so Japan is not really required.
One big example is Singapore. Despite being the escape route of CCP oligarchs, Lee Kuan Yew deemed Singapore to follow the Japanese model and make it look like Japan. WHOOSH of Indonesia didn't start without sowing the seeds from Japan. PT INKA itself was shaped by Japan. What about PH? Well, most of its infrastructure projects were Japanese-funded.
Japanese company is super slow in building subways and HSR lines...it has taken more than a decade to build the subway line 1 in Ho Chi Minh City while China has completed subway line 1 in Hanoi of similar distance two years ago. As for the HSR, there have been many delays on HSR lines Japanese company is working on in India, not sure how many years will it take to complete, likely 2 decades per line. There are 10 subway lines to be built in Ho Chi Minh City, the mayor complained about the delays and joked about it saying it will take 100 years to complete all 10 lines based on the current pace. Unlike Japanese Chinese engineers & workers are very hardworking, they work 12 hours per day 6-7 days per week and even work on public holidays, Japanese engineers don't work overtime and they frequently go back Japan to take breaks/vacations.
there is no such thing that japan are making big projects in south amerika and africa even though in india maybe you are refering to china not japan maybe you should research more before making such comments

The Philippine military took advantage of the fact that Zhongye Island was deserted and occupied the island. The Taiwanese authorities swallowed their anger and gave up the island. But many Taiwanese people know about this and they don't like the Philippines either. China will settle accounts with you, let's wait and see.
