They’re facing a very similar crisis to other Asian countries that had followed the same sort of broad economic path of export and rapid growth without ever really worrying during those times about trying to build in efficiency and sustainability.”Japan, on the other hand, steadily developed their economy for the export of industry, which positions them far better for sustained success in a globalised marketplace. While the Japanese are global leaders at developing futuristic things like talking robots, the Chinese are still burning far too much coal.Baker also thinks there’s a low possibility of conflict – especially the intentional kind, as neither nation are interested in such a clash.
