Get hosed. I want cheaper, better rice. Japanese agriculture isn't a real industry, either. It needs to be crushed and rebuilt from the ground up.
Therefore eliminate all national sovereignty. Cause that worked out loving awesome for Mexican agriculture after NAFTA. You're totally oblivious. Not enough Japanese people even know about the existence of this thing.

Protectionism and xenophobia sure have worked great. The Japanese have run up twice their GDP in debt with your precious sovereignty. Either they enter a negotiated agreement that slowly fixes that with growth in exchange for a part of that, or they end up being owned by the IMF after the bond market collapses.

Good lord. Are you saying you have no idea what the Japanese government did in the early 90s? This has been studied to death, everyone knows what they did wrong and how it caused all of this (the several lost decades). It has nothing to do with protectionism.

Japan propped up lovely banks just like it's propping up its lovely agriculture now. Let it fail, just like they should have let everything fail then.

Japan's Government "We do not understand why our Japanese women are choosing to not marry, instead having careers, and patronizing host clubs. Maybe we just need to yell at them to stay in the kitchen and have babies more, especially female politicians. Yep, that'll do the trick."
