If one were to go back to 1995 and take a good look at “the work” being done here, one would see a basic integrative method in play. Starting with individual technologies (i.e., chip types and software), moving through industry keiretsu that launch and promote these (i.e., Wintel, Apple/Sony), we showed how outcomes derive not just from better technology, but also from better technology with strong industry support.
After that, we moved into local geopolitical events (LDP policies in Japan, Clinton vs. Bush economics in the U.S.) which determined market health, and then, in what may be some kind of culmination, called the global economic collapse publicly, on London TV, in March of 2007.
A member reading over this span of time (and we have quite a few) would have gotten an outstanding, and totally biased, education in how the technology industry really works, with sidebars on energy, oil pricing, foreign exchange manipulations, and all the other things that can ruin an otherwise perfectly good day for a technology CEO or investor.
Almost none of this has appeared, in any cogent form, in the daily business press – at least not before it happened.
Today, I want to introduce a topic that is both new and old to members, and to FiRe participants: “ChinaPan.” This name denotes our way of suggesting that, contrary to a few decades of uninformed Western business coverage on the subject, China and Japan are close business partners, and getting closer.
Past participants of Future in Review first started learning about this through our ChinaPan thread there, launched five years ago.
Now it’s time to ring the bell a bit more loudly, since ChinaPan – and not China alone – will be the most important economic entity of the next few decades.
