Abstract: Japan and China are two of the largest economies in Asia, together accounting for nearly 85% of Asia's gross domestic product. However, political misgivings and a bitter history between the two neighbours have prevented a widespread economic partnership between them. Top-class Japanese firms like Toyota, Nissan, and Honda (automotives), Sony and Hitachi (electronics) have struggled to make a mark in China. Japanese electronics firms have a mere 5% share in the Chinese market.

Pedagogical Objectives:

  • To discuss the possible reasons for which Japan could have stayed away from entering China in a big way
  • To understand how the existing Chinese complemental business and market conditions, with its low cost labour and a growing domestic market, could serve as a major production base for Japanese firms, which are looking to become more competitive globally
  • To discuss whether Japan should be willing to forge an extensive partnership with China to achieve mutual benefits.
