Recently, Japan's manufacturing industry has once again fallen into a whirlpool. A subsidiary of the Panasonic Group has admitted to long-standing data falsification and other violations, involving nearly 400 companies around the world and involving them for 40 years. Previously, Toyota was also exposed to long-term falsification of engine data, which caused widespread concern in the society. This series of ** makes people wonder whether the Japanese craftsman spirit, which was once admired by many people, has long become a "bowing spirit".
Japan, once a manufacturing powerhouse, has evolved into a veritable counterfeiting powerhouse over the past three decades. Counterfeiting in Japan's manufacturing industry is not uncommon, among which the "Three Gorges Dam Water Diversion Steel Pipe Fraud Case" is an example. This case sheds light on misconduct in the Japanese manufacturing industry. In the international bidding, the Japanese steel giant Sumitomo Metal won the bid, but in the sampling inspection after the arrival of the product, it was found that the impact toughness of the material did not meet the contract standard, resulting in serious quality failure. This incident exposed the negligence and irresponsibility of Japanese companies in quality inspection.
The counterfeiting phenomenon of Japan's manufacturing industry is not limited to the domestic market, and its products are frequently exposed to quality problems in European and American countries. In 2021, cracks appeared in high-speed rail carriages produced by Japan's Hitachi used in England due to the severe substandard quality of the metal. The investigation found that Hitachi used various conspiracies and tricks to carry out quality inspection and fraud in order to pass the approval, while European and American customers have long failed to see through this deception because of their trust in Japanese manufacturing.
It is worth noting that the cost of counterfeiting in Japan's manufacturing industry is relatively low, and the legal sanctions are relatively mild. Even if a company is fined, the amount is relatively limited and has little impact on its profits. As a result, some Japanese companies have repeatedly failed to change their ways and turned a blind eye to the problem of counterfeiting. For example, Honda's models sold in China frequently suffer from brake failures, but instead of correcting the technical source, Honda deliberately concealed the brake problems. Even after more than 1,700 car accidents** in the U.S. market, Honda has turned a deaf ear to the problem of counterfeiting and has not repented after several fines.
Japan was once the world's industrial leader, but the bursting of the economic bubble and the emergence of a decline plunged it into an existential crisis. In order to make ends meet, many companies are unscrupulous in order to expand production capacity, pursuing mercenary pursuits, and no longer paying attention to the moral bottom line. This is a reflection of the true state of the Japanese economy. Japanese manufacturing once flaunted the spirit of craftsmanship, but the reality shows that this is only a huge **. The fraudulent behavior of Japanese companies has fully exposed their essence of "knowing small courtesies but not big righteousness", and they are unscrupulous for their own interests, and they do not care about the image of the company and the country. In the commercial field, as well as in dealing with the war of aggression against China and the discharge of nuclear-contaminated water, the Japanese have even lost their courtesy, righteousness, and shame, and have shown their true colors by concealing and quibbling about their mistakes, which is a shame for the Japanese nation.
