Cheap Japanese turned into superior Japanese products. Furthermore they are a free country and perhaps our best ally in the world. Japan is a totally different situation.
I suspect there will be a change in China as well eventually. Can’t continue to grow an economy at that rate and spit out inferior products forever. Standard of living in China is also increasing as they are the second biggest demand for autos in the world besides the U.S. Chinese people won’t be held down forever, especially as they get richer. I suspect China will eventually become a democracy, we’ll see.
