Quoting: Anonymous Coward 78064138 I mean the trade of Japan and Europe is very quiet. Should Japan be considered in EU market watch even if they are not in the EU? Being a trading partner doesn't require being in a "union" of the political/social type the EU has become. The Japanese are insular by nature, they don't "play well with others". Also, factually, probably the most racist country in the world. Joining the EU would seem like a desperate step down to 98% of Japanese.

If Japan is Europe trading partner, Europe pays Japan for their company services. How is Europe getting their money back smart guy? The EU is basically going with the flow with each other. Germany to France and Germany expects France to Germany income. This is basically the EU, right? |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 75173234 Because it wouldn't make sense for an asian country to be in the european union. What a concept Ireland is in the EU and they are not close to Germany, in fact they are far away. Sweden in the EU is far away from France. Japan does heavy business with the EU and are not even in it, yes Japan is far to. Your basically saying everyone in the EU must be close to France to qualify for EU membership. Very stupid thinking. If this were correct by your thinking Ireland and Sweden should not be in the EU. Its about geography. Ireland and Sweden are islands DIRECTLY off of the European Continent. Japan is on a literally different continent all together thousands of miles away. And yes, the EU makes it a stipulation that you have to be on the European continent or the surrounding islands to be able to join. Japan far away has European history. Yes the geography is different. It's an island nation in the east Asia. Portugal and Japan started their first affiliation in 1543, making the Portuguese the first Europeans to reach Japan by landing in the southern archipelago of Japan. Japan has a policy of isolation Today Japan continues the best trade with the EU Now take a look at this... The USA military this month will return to Japan's government more than 9,800 acres of land it has held since World War II, Secretary of Defense Ash Carter said Tuesday. ... The US had turned most of Okinawa over to Japan in 1972 after controlling it from the end of World War II in 1945 Japan is not allowed to have offensive military forces. Its Article 9 declares "the Japanese people forever renounce war as a sovereign right of the nation and the threat or use of force as means of settling international disputes". Japanese Constitution not only forbids the use of force as a means to settling international disputes but also forbids Japan from maintaining an army, navy or air force. Japan provided free financial support for U.S. American basing (effectively outsourcing its own national defense) and moved rapidly from an import substitution economy to that of an industrial Japan held discussion with American President Donald Trump about trade frictions. Cool story bro Don't forget that in 2015 Japan can now defend allies in international battle your point? or ya like spewing random shit? |
