US made toy: $19
Chinese/Mexican made toy: $9, slapped tariff, now $30
US made toy now: $28.99
Not to mention that companies from other countries will find it more expensive to do business with/in the US, so they trade with China instead. Reducing American influence everywhere else. Trump tariff is exactly what China quietly wants, the world not trading with the US.
Trump is basically Xi's lap dog.

Make a law that pays overtime 2.5 more, I guarantee that companies will make sure none of their employees work overtime. Of course it won't happen, the keidanren controls the government.

In Japan, since when do "top students" study abroad ? They go to Todai, Kyodai, and the rest of the universities known as the "ex-imperial universities".

This is all BOJ and MOF doing, not tourists. Should see the video of MOF minister saying how much money Japanese have in their savings and that he needs to dig them all out because they're "sleeping" money and that the inflation is no big deal because "we" have so much savings.

Posted in: Food companies sell products that are less healthy in poorer countries, says report See in context
Article doesn't say why, so here's one reason.
Poor countries, usually have politicians that are easy to bribe, resulting in less restrictive additives control. Food companies are free to replace as much ingredients with cheap alternatives short of directly killing people outright. In some countries, they even hire thugs to silence protesters.
Colonization didn't go away, they just changed into "adopt free market capitalism or we incite coup in your country".

Posted in: Japan plans automated cargo transport system to relieve shortage of drivers See in context
I've read the report from the ministry of transport website.
They considered to build container rails between big cities, but decided the cost is way too prohibitive and Shizuoka will be against it as well.
So, they decided to only automate the inner city transport. Long-haul will still be done by truck drivers, but now they will stop at the outskirts of cities and load up their cargo onto the inner-city cargo rail, which then will be automatically transported to various hubs in the city.
The logic is to reduce traffic in the inner city, hopefully reducing work hours for long-haul drivers because they don't have to come into the city anymore. Less traffic jam, less CO2.
I think it's a win-win project.

So, we all want better work-life-balance for truck drivers, but they think the policies are bad for them because they can't work more hours. Instead of complaining about low pay, they complain that government interfere too much.

Good idea or not? See in context
Definitely not good for Chinese who work illegally for other Chinese, because they're sharing someone's "photoless" health insurance card without paying fairly into the system like everyone.
