Japanese Influence on Traditional Industries in China

Japan's industrial model has three obvious characteristics. One is the extreme pursuit of perfection, almost at any cost; The second is to improve and mass produce talents invented by other nationalities; Third, close teamwork, focusing on steady and gradual innovation in the manufacturing process, rather than product breakthrough. These qualities promoted the rise of Japanese consumer electronics industry, but also led to its decline.

Japan's economy experienced economic recovery, rapid growth and recession after World War II, and is currently in the period of system reform and structural adjustment, with both successful experiences and lessons of failure. Through the research and investigation of Japan's market economy, we can find that Japan's market economy model is similar to China's in some aspects. Both Japan and China belong to the farming culture system in East Asia, and the farming culture in East Asia has a common feature, that is, the government plays a relatively large role in organizing and allocating resources in the market economy. Japan is the first country in Asia to enter capitalism and implement industrialization. However, Japan still belongs to an industrialized country in the process of catching up and catching up outside the western market economy system. At present, China's industrialization strategy also belongs to this type. Although Japan does not have a planned economy like China, some practices of the Japanese government in economic management are similar to those of China. Japan's enterprise series system, lifelong employment system and annual merit series system are similar to China's state-owned enterprise system under the planned economy system. Japanese experience in developing market economy has many lessons and inspirations for China to develop market economy.

1. In the face of the failure of Japan's market economy model in the new economic era, the first thing to reflect on is that in the process of economic development, just like there is no perpetual motion machine, there is no forever effective model, only constant reform and innovation. Before 1980s, the government-led market economy model created a miracle of Japan's economic growth, but it does not mean that this model is eternal. Facing the development of high-tech industry in the world, this model is facing the problem of reform. At present, China's economic reform is also facing the same problem. Since the reform and opening up, China's economy has made great achievements. At present, China's economy is in a transitional period. In order to adapt to the economic transformation, there is a problem of getting out of the proper mindset and reform ideas and carrying out new reforms with new ways of thinking, new knowledge and new reform ideas. Especially in the face of the challenge of China's entry into WTO.

2. At present, China's industrial restructuring is facing two major tasks, one is to adapt to the challenges of the new technological revolution and develop high-tech industries, and the other is to upgrade and improve China's manufacturing industry with cutting-edge technologies. Although Japan's market economy model is slow to respond in the new economic era, Japan's experience in developing manufacturing industry is worth learning. In the development of manufacturing industry, the Japanese practice of establishing large enterprise groups facing the international market is worth learning and studying in China. In the development of China's manufacturing industry, we should consider establishing enterprise groups according to the competitive advantages, and formulate manufacturing strategies for both international and domestic markets. Haier Group in Qingdao is ahead in this respect. Adjusting the industrial structure should be one of the main tasks of China in 2 1 century. In addition, Japan's practice of actively introducing cutting-edge technology and vigorously carrying out secondary technological innovation in the development of manufacturing industry is also worth learning. When implementing industrial policy, Japan has always insisted on closely linking technological innovation with industrial policy and technological progress with import policy, which is worth learning from.

3. Although Japan is a market economy country dominated by the government, the government's regulation and management of the economy is also a country with a highly developed legal system. Japan's industrial policy implementation and the establishment of social security system have strict legal basis. After the war, industrial support policies were constantly put forward, based on the laws formulated. For example, when fostering the fiber industry, there is an "individual industry revitalization law". In the 1960s, when developing the automobile, machinery and electronics industries, we formulated the Outline for Supporting State-owned Vehicles, the Interim Measures for Revitalizing the Machinery Industry and the Interim Measures for Revitalizing the Electronics Industry. It is worth learning to govern the country and regulate the economy according to law.

4. To adapt to the development of China's manufacturing industry, on the one hand, we should learn from Japanese efforts to promote market-oriented secondary technological innovation, and at the same time, we should adapt to the challenges of the new technological revolution. We must learn from the lessons of Japan and vigorously develop the original technology system that adapts to the new technological revolution. Although the development momentum of China's high-tech industry is very strong, we must clearly realize that the source of supporting the development of China's high-tech industry is not our own original technology, and a large part of high-tech industry belongs to the output value created by the secondary industry manufacturing industry.

Since the 1950s, the Japanese government has carried out five "national comprehensive development plans", but Japanese scholars believe that most of these five national comprehensive development plans have not achieved the expected purpose. There are two reasons: first, under the influence of various interest groups and political forces, the scientific nature of the plan has been affected and deviated from the original goal; Second, in solving the problem of unbalanced regional development, the role of planning in resource allocation is overused, while the role of market in resource allocation is ignored. These experiences and lessons have reference significance for China to implement the strategy of developing the western region. The government's investment direction and opening-up plan must take into account the role of market regulation, which should be a principle that China must adhere to when developing the western region. In particular, if the local governments in the west focus too much on asking for money from the central government and neglect the market environment and the cultivation of development resources in the region, it may be too hasty and difficult to achieve.
