I’m curious what was the overall reaction on the news in Japan to the debate that you saw?
Trump did make the mistake of mentioning China & Japan are “Stealing our jobs and our companies.”
I know lots of Japanese people and that’s the wrong way to phrase it. In Japan, that plays like, “The Japanese are thieves” — which they are not.
Rather he should be saying Japanese & Chinese are OUTCOMPETING us for jobs BECAUSE of the high taxes and high regulations here.
“Rather he should be saying Japanese & Chinese are OUTCOMPETING us for jobs BECAUSE of the high taxes and high regulations here.”
I agree with that.
I don’t think he is trying to win their votes.
