The exact same reason why their smarter than we are. It's their culture. For many Americans, more than enough, our culture is believing that we have to spend $2000 on the new Gucci purse to look cool, but being smart and understanding how to make life easier is simply the Eastern way of living. We're molded to believe that everything matters on the outside, they're molded viewing life as art and understanding. And, no, Japanese aren't taking the American ideas it's the exact opposite. The Americans are trying to invade every freaking country that they can to stay above everyone else. If America didn't invest in other countries, then trust me, we'd be a 3rd. world country too. (And the Europeans basically came up with everything, if you look at, although he was a horrible person, all the Hitler did for medicine and technology.)And dude below, this isn't an opinion. THIS IS THE TRUTH! This is based on statistical studies and cultural understanding. I have many Asian friends that can't possibly believe it when they see blonde Betti, for instance, asking questions that they've known since forever. It's their tradition. Being smart and creating technology, in which technology is simply any tool to make life easier, is how they live. What the hell are you talking about opinion? This is how it goes, and obviously you're too sad to admit. Who doesn't know that Westerns are nearly naturally, if they follow their traditions, that Easterns?

Although there are specialized keyboards, for the most part Japanese and Chinese just use regular keyboards that uses software to change keystrokes into thier respective languages - for example, typing "KA" on a Japanese system will result in the Japanese hiragana "ka", etc.

When I was young, all the cheap stuff was imported from Japan. Now a whole bunch of expensive stuff in imported from Japan. In the process, Japanese society has undergone a major transformation. I imagine the same will happen with China. Twenty years from now, the cheap stuff will probably be made in some other developing country because China's economy and ambitions will have grown. Even now, this is beginning to happen. Is the stuff from China worth buying? Some of it may represent a good value. A wise consumer considers each purchase carefully. Cheap doesn't always mean a bargain, if the product doesn't hold up.

There is no physical difference between Chinese and Japanese.   However the difference is, Chinese people are from China, speak Chinese, and have Chinese culture, similar to Japanese’s but different.  Japanese people are from Japan, speak Japanese, and have Japanese culture, which is similar to Chinese’s, but different.  That’s how we are different form each other, but we do not need to look different in order to be different.  No one goes on about how Australian people look different from people of New Zealand, or German people from Austrians, or English people form French, or Czech people form Slovakian people, do they?  That's because everyone knows they are different even if they may not look different.  Same thing for Japanese and Chinese. \nAs a Japanese person, I get lots of questions about how we look different form Chinese people, and lots of opinions of how they think we look different from each other.  Personally, I find it nonsense.  Japanese are from Japan, Chinese are from China.  That's all.\nBut mind you, China is a big country, and Japan is a long country form North to South.  It is more down to individuals than anything else, but as it is so, if you compare a person from a place in China next to Nepal to a person form Hokkaido, North Japan, occasionally (not always) you may find a slight difference because one's from North and the other's form South.   Same thing can happen if you compare someone from Okinawa, South Japan to someone from North China near Russia.  That may confuse some people and make them think there is a difference between us.  But remember, country borders are man made, and people do not suddenly look different because of that.

China is pretty smart... I think we can all agree they have an artifically devalued currecy, which gives them a nice advantage in the world market, but hey it's not like the U.S. doesn't have some nice advatages too. I worry a lot about human rights issues there and I wish they could maybe set a little better example for Southeast Asia. But as for it's role in the international community, it's a billion people, huge workforce for potentially cheap labor and huge market for imported goods. The needs are pushing up the prices for goods internationally though, like oil, but hey that's consumerism.

Most Japanese don't consider themselves Asian.  I studied in Japan for a year, and once I told one of my classmates that I was enjoying visiting Asia. She looked at me strange and said "Here is Asia?" (but in Japanese). \nAlso, I went to a contemporary Chinese art exhibit a few months ago and was reading a description of one of the works of art and it said that many Chinese people view, at least politically, Japan as more of a Western country than an Asian country.\nI'm hesitant to call it a superiority complex, but I do believe that Japan has a tendency to distance itself from the rest of Asia. Also, I think Japanese people would claim that they have a higher standard of living than (other) Asian countries. Economically speaking, this is true with perhaps South Korea being the only potential rival to this statement. They have a very high per capita income and an extremely low rate of poverty.

China is not only growing at an incredible pace in industry and trade, but it is beginning to exercise more power all over the world.  Right now, China has interests in almost every corner of the world, including heavy involvement in world ports and other trade routes.  The problem with China is that it is right now opening its doors to everyone and everyone is opening its doors to them.  It does not seem like a threat... but, at the same time, it is selling arms to Iran and North Korea and spending huge amounts on its military.  There are old scars between Japan and China.  There are present conflicts with Taiwan.  Both could involve the US, against Chinese interests... I believe they are holding off on flexing their muscle until they have grown larger in economic and military dominance.  It is coming... the only thing that saves us, besides the fact that we are right now the only superpower, is that we are also their best customer.  Someday, their economy will be the greatest in the world and they will have more influence in world matters than the US... we will become another France or Germany, still strong but not the big boy on the block.  \nAs far as India, they will have a great economy but it is further away and they are not as interested in world dominance as the Chinese are.   \nStart learning Mandarin.

I live in China now, China is booming and cheap but that will soon change, about 10 years ago everything was made in Korea for the same reason and 20-30 years ago all made in Japan. 100 years ago it was all made in England...etc. Its because as poor countries get more skilled they can make things cheaply and of high quality, as the people get rich they don't want to work in just making things they want to design them and invent them, and it goes off to another country to make it. The USA designs most things made in China and takes 75% of the profit from it... so you guys shouldn't complain, you are using the Chinese as cheap labour. Soon everything will be made in India anyway.
