How much?

[MistaNova]

A lot. Add that to the exchange rate crisis Japan is facing now, as well as a billion other problems it's got (not including those caused by the tsunami or earthquake), and I see Japan becoming part of China or America's 51st state within the next 4 or 5 decades...

I think with Japan, and the world relying on them a lot for technology. Maybe not as much as they used to, but they still look at Japan for development

United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and a lot of those types of countries depend on Japan a lot, but on the other hand, Japan are relying on the US for their nuclear at the moment, and also Russia for gas. I guess they could become apart of it within the next 20 years or so, but my bet would be on China if any... Russia is already starting to be considered as part of Europe. Ridiculous as it is, they are apart of "European" sporting competitions. Guess this is the start to combining all these countries together to make them easier to manage

Those from non-Asian countries might think that, but more than 75% of Japan's population hates China and always will. Whereas Japanese people have always looked up to America and Russia since WWII ended.

Where are you getting that from? Do you know a lot of people out there? Not trying to be awkward, just interested in finding out as I always thought some would still harbour bad feeling about the atomic bombs dropped there

I live in Japan so yeah, I know a lot of people out here. With TPP happening here a lot of discussions regarding Japan's future came up and in the midst of it various surveys were made, one of which included the question "Do you trust China?" to which over half of the people that answered said no. Plus I've never met a single Japanese person who said they think Japan should join China (I'm not saying there aren't any, but just that I've never met them).
As for the atomic bombs they did scar Japan for eternity, but it's because of those scars that Japan decided to put all of their energy into technology & development and become the country they are now. I'm not sure how many people still have grudges against America, but to the current Japanese generation America's always seemed like their no. 1 supporter (like how they buy all of Japan's gadgets).

Japanese hate white Americans, (mostly the goverment). They love Mexicans though, I mean fuck they even do the whole lowrider thing to the extreme. I mean they speak Spanish, Use Aztec and Mayan images and import Classic cars to ride in. They even got car clubs that either sound like they from cali, or pay tribute to cali. I've heard they also act black over their also. 

Anyways Japan should hate China, Hell we all should hate China, that goverment is shady and fucked up, N. Korea is way worse, but I swear China seems like 1984 in the beginning. I talk shit about Amerikkkas shit, but They aint no where near as fucked up as China.

Can the USA bill Japan for all the trash soon to be washing up on the shores of the pacific northwest?
