The "China+ l "strategy
While there may be a growing trend of Japanese ompanies
"evacuating" from China, this choice is ot being made lightly. When
foreign enterprises irst enter the Chinese market, they enter into
several long-term agreements with the Chinese overnment. For
example, if the foreign enterprise withdraws from China, they must
ensure local mployment and economic stability, pay penalty fees for
land clean-up costs, plant relocation and ersonnel placement.
Because these costs can be very expensive, possibly more expensive
than a new nvestment, this decision can be a difFiculty.
If a foreign enterprise does decide to move, t will most likely
move to another country in Southeast Asia. But this too can be a
difficult ecision. Capital transfers to some countries n Southeast
Asia can be risky and though the ountries may be pro-Japanese, they
may still be
politically unstable with poor infrastructure or ow levels of
human capital, with relatively smaller arkets than in China.The
data shows that, in 2010 hina''s export volume had surpassed
Germany''s to ecome number one in the world.ln 2012, a prompt
tatistical report of says that China''s total import and mport
volume for the first time surpassed that of he US. Based on the
above, Japanese companies ave begun to implement the "China+l"
Strategy. n this strategy, Japanese companies maintain their urrent
scale of enterprises and investments into hina while at the same
time increasing investments nto other countries and regions. By
diversifying cross, and increasing its investments in Southeast
sia, Japan can reduce its risk. Concluding remarks e above analyses
show that the Sino-iapanese conomic and trade relationship is a
highly nterdependent and mutually beneficial one. herefore, there
can be no win-lose solution, but only a lose-lose, or win-win
solution. And, consequently, nly improving Sino-iapanese relations
can induce win-win result. China''s 40 year development annot be
separated from its friendly international elationships, especially
the role of the mutually eneficial Sino-Japanese relationship.
_lapan, in the ame ways, cannot interpret its success or failures
utside of contributing world events. Whether t is Japan''s brush
with the brink of economic ollapse, its post-war economic recovery
and evelopment which resulted in it becoming the world''s second
largest economic power, its decline ue to decreased trade after the
Plaza Accord or urrent recovery from the "Heisei Recession", the
vents are linked with the maintenance, or lack of maintenance, of
peaceful relations with economic rading partners.
According to the growth theory, a country''s long- erm economic
growth must rely on technological progress and a high level of
human capital accumulation. In regards to this, the Chinese
government has been stressing the fundamental shift of its
development mode from a high-pollutant emission economy to a
low-carbon and green economy. However, this shift is heavily
dependent on technological innovations nd environmental
technologies which Japan, the current world leader in these
technologies. (Figure 1.8). Therefore, if hostilities continue,
both countries will face economic difficulties which will result in
decreased economic growth, which is the lose-lose situation that no
one wants to see.
Ultimately, the hope is that Sino-Japanese relations can return
to friendly positions and that these powers can continue to lead
Asian economics s an example of how world leading economies can
work together to further develop the world conomy.
