BAKU - As a significant power in East Asia, Japan has long struggled to find its place in the region. In the previous century alone, the country rapidly modernized itself and altered between various ideas ranging from isolationism, militarism, mercantilism to centralized governance and consumer-based economy. However, Tokyo’s past challenges are not merely submerged in history. Many problems remain unaddressed. In this report, we will go over these issues and explains the geopolitics of Japan.

Good point, I will address it in the next report.
If you don't talk about Karuizawa then you said nothing about Japan Cass mate.
Why? It's so insignificant that 99.999999% of Japanese don't even know about it.
Wow, didn't even know about it. Thanks for sharing.

Sammy sam: I had the same reaction, and I actually rewinded a bit to view the video of a street scene to verify that it was not a model. Lol.
Exactly my reaction! 😂 I also had to rewind. Looks unreal!

Im all honesty, The USAs debt, at least in relation to the gdp, is not as much as other countries.
A quick google search shows me that the UKs debt is 314 per cent of their gdp, frances is 213.
The USs is only 97 percent of their gdp, still bad, but comparably more managable.
You mean Japan which is approaching 250% of its GDP and it's even been using negative interest rates to try to stimulate the economy after printing money with abenomics.
The third option for Japan would be to raise it's own native birthrates, which would be the best option.
When food security remains a problem, increasing your population is not possible.
@@kayallen7603 thats why they need to add vertical farms, japan focuses too little on agriculture since they find it cheaper to import
Plot twist : Japan doesn't have declining rate, the secret is that they already mastered the way to send people in virtual dimensions or isekai'd 👀

Nah they just bad at math especially multiply
lolllll

I think you deserve way more than 200k subscribers, to be honest. You always make these situations very clear when you discuss them, and sometimes even bring up situations that I had no idea even existed.
I love this channel! You make geopolitcs sound very easy and make a lot of sense, due to how directly and simplistically you are explaining the "WHY" of the whole situation. You never take any sides, and expose all interests to their simplest meaning.
Probably one of the best videos I have watched. Every aspect was covered with great insight. This opened new paradigms of thought process for me wrt Japan. Thanks again Caspian report.
Another brilliant video.
I'm using your channel more and more because the quality is so high!
Well done mate.
Japan is truly an outlier in the world. I have nothing but respect for its people.
?
How so it developed very much in line with other axis powers post WW2, Germany and Italy also started out as industrial powerhouses for the west, became wealthy welfare states and now face declining population growth as a major threat.
@@MonaLisaHasNoEyebrows you might want to look up a little thing called the Meiji restoration.
@@MonaLisaHasNoEyebrows it’s almost like there’s a trend…
Perhaps a better alternative to opening borders would be for Japan to heavily incentivize reproduction. The cultural problem largely seems to center on career-obsessed members of the urban upper middle class failing to have kids. This could be solved by reducing taxes for people with children, especially in a way that flattens the tax structure (thus placing the strongest incentive on the aforementioned demographic). It's a false dichotomy to reduce the situation to demographic decline vs. unfettered immigration.
Given the Japanese sense of honour and duty to the nation of Japan, a little propaganda that plays on the Japanese emotion would take them a long way.
There are many way the Japanese can manipulate themselves into a mating season that would reverse the trend within generations--one of which being propaganda as I've mentioned
From what i have heard from some of my Japanese Friends is that they actually look forward to a population drop. The Country is overpopulated, which shoots up Housing Prices, too many drivers on roads, stagnating movement ect. Naturally i don't know if all Japanese People share these feelings, but from the few i know, those are some of the positives they are looking forward to.
No offence but Capitalists want MORE pregnant women. More People = More Consumers.
Lmao, actually what you just said is way more stupid. Did i say that a Company WANTS its workers to be pregnant? No, i said that Companies WANT more customers, and therefore would support a higher birth rate. Those are two very different things. One Person works for you, and would be detrimental to your company profit. The other is a Customer, and would be a positive influence to your company profit.
And Again, Africa is yet another stupid example. Africa is a continent that is largely undeveloped, with massive amounts of unemployment and extremely low income.
Please explain how this is somehow a good comparison to a Capitalist Country like America, where people can not only afford things, but where many companies thrive.
Men who work much harder jobs for far longer and with far less breaks than women (and it's been shown that even in the extremely rare cases where women go into fields as difficult as men they don't work for nearly as long) and expecting them to simultaneously take care of the house on the same level as the partner with the much easier tasks is equally retarded.
I am in love with the camera work and aerial imagery! Fantastic work!

Well, the recent attacks and the immense media coverage hasn't been helping.
Japan's massive public debt is to its public...60% of whom will die out in a generation
I dont get why everyone only focuses on Japans immigration laws and birth rate, there are much more important things happening in Japan. He didnt even touch on Japan's foreign relation or the situation with North Korea nad China...
goverment own 40% of its debt
Thanks once again for a great educational video!! :D
8:24 I haven't seen anyone else address this issue. You are killing it.
Sus análisis son muy interezantes, sería muy bueno que los publicaran en español para llegar a más público.
India and Japan are natural strategic bedfellows. New Delhi should think about further upgrading its security pact with Tokyo signed in 2008. Quad is also another platform to focus on, given China's continuing belligerence in the region.
An excellent report. Well done!
Love your work. Support mode on 👍
Excellent stock footage, can you recommend me some sites for this kind of footage?
as it turns out immigration is not much of a solution to declining birthrates either
@Aesthetic Decision hahaha
All it really does is replace the original group and cause instability as the power begins to transition from the native population to the immigrants.
This is why the USA will eventually crumble, too many different cultures that simply don't work together.
@São João do mundo a problem with birth rates? Focus on having a higher birth rate I dont understand what's so hard about this. There's never a rationale why more than 5% of your nation is of foreign origin. Oh you're country is too sparsely populated you need migrants, oh you're countries overpopulated and decreasing in birth rates you need migrants. Like no. Migrants become one more problem. Need more skilled workers? Teach your workforce more skills. Need more unskilled workers? Pay then more. 👏👏👏Migration is a non-solution to non-problems👏👏👏

Hey, Caspian. I love your videos. I cam watch them all day. Can you make a video on the geopolitics of the Philippines and India?
But if Japan's population is shrinking why would it matter if the tax revenue decreases?
Older people are more expensive
Because of geopolitics. Population is a source of geopolitical power.
Imagine people are sources of energy and the state is like an engine. The country needs to move forward like a shark or it dies, in order to move forward it uses the state as a source of movement, direction and goal making. The goal is not only to survive but thrive. Now, population is the fuel the engine(state) uses. The more, the better, the more powerful the engine can push itself. The quality of the fuel is important too, but quantity of fuel is the name of the game. In a wholly efficient society each member proves for the collective energy that the state uses to move forward the collective good. Others do this well, some don’t. While others favor freedom and innovation, some seek control and security. At the end of the day more people = more power. People are never a burden unless they become welfare recipients and net drain, in which case a culling is required.
also, modern infrastructure requires maintenance. Decreasing tax revenue means deteriorating infrastructure and rising costs
Paying for school is cheaper then healthcare and food and housing

There are many channels on youtube with very good comment sections. The Caspian Report, in spite of it's well edited and informative content, is not one of those channels.

Wow, funny to watch such an old video from Mr. Caspian Report. Still good information but compared to your videos of today, it shows how much you have improved in speaking and creating content in general. Keep up the positive learning curve
With lower population comes rising wages for generic work and lower housing cost which means the average person can consume more, work fewer hours, maybe even afford to have a family which will lead to higher birth rates. Declining population is not all bad in that light. There will be difficulty in sustaining pensions and taking care of the older generation to be sure. But I don't think it's any massive disaster that requires immediate opening of borders to mass migration etc. That's just a neolib meme.
Finally someone that makes sense
In reality one of the thing that happen is:
-Property prices goes down slightly, but many owners ended up holding their property until the prices goes up again.
-When the property prices goes too high, either the bubble pops or the surrounding locations get dilapidated. Many of these properties get abandoned (Happen in almost single country on earth). In major cities, they probably got revived, in third or fourth tier cities, the areas got abandoned because of slowdown in economy.
-Higher wages doesn't equal more kids. This has been proven all around the world. They might have kids earlier in life at late 20s or early 30s. But it doesn't mean they would have more than 2 kids. Instead of pumping 4 kids. They would saved those money up for proper expensive educations and investments instead.
-In capitalistic economy, rising wages isn't as prevalent as most people think. What we need to calculate is the inflation rate vs the wages increase rate. If it goes hand in had, then the wages doesn't increase. Happen to the US.
-In Japan, saving up money and improving quality of life is more important than pumping out kids. Otherwise we wouldn't see those problem in the first place.
-Suggesting to allow mass migrations at a short period of times are "retarded". It wouldn't solved any problems. What they should do is to allowed people with certain type of skill sets and qualifications to help the industries that needed those migrants. Seems like you never actually know anything about Immigration policies of many countries.

God those time lapse zooms are mesmerizing!
I'm still amazed that such a small geographically country could conquer almost half of Asia, with a fairly small number of population, AND with a great culture behind. Very fascinating.
Yea and along the way they've raped, killed, tortured millions of people and it's effects can be seen up to this day.
Very simple, because he was an industrial civilization, and other Asian civilizations were agricultural.. His ancient civilization came from China.

Half the comments are just people either praising or complaining about Japans immigration policy, like that's the most important thing happening in Japan right now. That's like ignoring American global politics to only focus on the wall with Mexico...
For real. People need to get out and travel more, meet some new people and try some new things.
Your videoes are absolute MASTERPIECES! Have shared your videoes with a friend today, as a business owner my best suggestion for your channel to grow is to do cross channel videoes with popular youtubers who do videoes close to the subject but are still as different as people are not watching both as is. I have seen craaazy sub growth that way with other channels! Going to setup my contribution on Patreon for you
It is a very objective video, good job!
People constantly talk about Japan's low birthrates, but no one mentions how countries such as Germany, Spain, Portugal, Poland, Italy, and *ALL* Balkan countries have birthrates that are even lower...
They focus on Japan's low birthrates because they have not adopted a suicidal open border policy to "refugees" like Comrade Merkel.
Dufffaaa93 actually in Europe it's fucking us over completely, the unemployment rate of Muslims is above 55% (confirmed is around 20% of males in countries like Austria) according to some estimates (largely because barely any of the women work at all) - and they don't generate enough tax money to even compensate for their own welfare costs let alone for their pensions or other people pensions... a massive chunk of these people is just another economical burden. NOT A SOLUTION AT ALL
I saw a statistic that 63% of German women had tried lesbian relationships. I was blown away by that number. Also the country has a shitload of pedos. Traditional family life has gone down the toilet there along with population numbers.
orangedac no.
That statistic is false.
I've done a quick google search and found out that the numbers is actually 6%.
Daniel Milliams
data.oecd.org/migration/foreign-born-unemployment.htm
Quick google search could help you determine that the numbers are from 5-20% instead your impossible 55%
I have no fucking idea where you got those numbers but that is impossible economically.
My own country (Bosnia) has 44% unemployment rate, highest in Europe.

I don't understand how mass immigration will be anything but an overall net negative for Japan. It's even confessed that Japan produces only enough food to feed 66% of the population which, by any actual standards of life, is the only thing that is important. Without food nobody lives nevermind broad geopolitical interests. Mass importing people leads to an overall net negative for everybody. Case in point is Germany which is thriving on its EU gains but is set for a serious internal problem that will rival the USA in terms of instability.
Population rates fluctuate all the time in history and the modern world has reached a point where populations are higher than ever before IN history. These issues sort themselves out naturally. People in Japan struggle with raising families due to the current social situation and so, in time, this situation will change. I really cannot understand advocates of mass demographic immigration replacement because there is no logical purpose in doing this. It will only lead to more complicated issues, will not solve anything long term, and ultimately means that sovereignty decreases. I hope Japan does not make the mistake Germany has because Germany is a dying nation due to its poor decisions it made and will serve as a testament for what NOT to do to fix economic problems. Japan, please do not make the same suicidal mistake.

Isn't Japan's debt an issue for them? Or is this debt just a number?
Syed Muhammad Akbar Apparently not because their central bank buys up their debt and then forgives it.
Many countrys owe alot of money to Japan especially USA
I guess it's a problem, but since Japan is a developed economy and holds the 3d position in the world in terms of national wealth, plus Japan doesn't have a problem with inflation, it actually had the deflation, so I guess it isn't that big of a problem for them.
However, the debt is going to increase I guess, because they want to increase the inflation rates and as the population falls, they can solve it by moving their produce outwards, but to which extent? Plus it is partially depending on the situation in China, if China happens to destabilize, it's a free real-estate for Japan since they would be able to benefit from the Chinese labour, however, if China happens to get stronger after the economic crisis (which would come inevitably as in other East-Asian countries, because of the zero-interest loans), then it would be harder for Japan to get access to the cheap labour, the only possible options I see are the Philippines and the Indo-China region. (*Maybe Indonesia)
@@theknight4317 I suppose you are right. I think Japan should also consider making Africa their target. Japan can only be another investor in countries like India and Indonesia but if she is ready to take the risk, she can be a major investor in some country in Africa and can even influence policy making for her favor. However, I guess since Japan does not like taking risks, they may confine themselves to safer options. Nevertheless, they do need a proactive investment policy.
Syed Muhammad Akbar The only countries that invest in Africa are France (because Empire) and China (because Empire). Africa has never been a profitable venture without colossal investment in human capital and infrastructure, and the recent relative stability in the region is just that- recent.
The African Union could succeed in unifying Africa...or it could face a crisis like the EU and implode without any strong leadership to keep it together.
Places like India at least have some of the infrastructure and human capital in place. Which is why people have been able to build things like call centres there.
