Japan, small but suffering from the big business disease, and China, the maneuverable giant

Today I held a seminar at Funai Soken.
We had a lot of construction companies come.
Today's content is the final installment of our Shanghai special.
This tour will take you to a place called "Funko" about 1.5 hours west of Shanghai by car.
I went to a town that is about to undergo full-scale development. Most of the places in between are
Although it feels like a field, both cities are still towns.
I think this is the merit of urban planning. It's the same in Germany, too.
We try to avoid situations where only one house is built as much as possible.
By doing so, we can avoid the waste of infrastructure just for one house and the inconvenience of retirement.
This solves most of the care, depopulation and public transport problems in one fell swoop.
The best way to keep your child from getting into your car is to keep them within a five minute walk of your house.
There is a public transport station, etc., and trains run about once every 10 minutes.
The quickest way to achieve this is to live together in groups, but only if there are a certain number of people.
The above conditions must be met. This is something that has been achieved in places like Tokyo and Osaka.
It is a city, but it is lively and convenient. On the other hand, it has become too dense and
There are also some drawbacks. In Germany, the balance of density is poor.
And the ratio of greenery is just right, so no matter where you go it's not too urban, and it's not too depopulated.
I was able to feel the good balance and not feel like it was out of place.
I've digressed, but when I talk to Japanese people working in China, I think
It's fast. Given that the country is a one-party state run by the Communist Party and there are no elections, this may be to be expected.
However, the country has a large land area and a population ten times larger.
In the first place, all land in the area is state-owned, so negotiations with landowners are not possible as in Japan.
It doesn't take long, but it doesn't seem to be limited to urban planning.
One example of this is the swift economic measures taken immediately after the Lehman shock.
If there is something that they think is good or something that needs improvement, they will implement it with incredible speed.
This is what Japan is lacking the most right now.
If they did that, they would almost certainly go bankrupt.
This is an advantage, but on the other hand, it also has a disadvantage. For example, in China, there are many people who rebel against the government.
If it is deemed to be an act of violence, it will be punishable by death. Japan is far superior in this respect.
However, while protecting these human rights, it is necessary to make decisions and implement them quickly.
I think it is possible. I feel that in today's Japan, the principle of majority rule has been forgotten because of the emphasis on minority opinions.
Yes. It is because Mayor Hashimoto knows the fatal flaw of this that he calls "politics that can make decisions."
I think it will be declared a top priority.
Even in the corporate world, companies that are growing, such as Google, are able to change rapidly, even if they are large.
On the other hand, even local medium-sized companies can fall victim to the big company disease due to various internal constraints.
There are a lot of companies that are falling into this trap.
I went to see the design office, and while talking to people who knew about the systems of both Japan and China, I heard the following:
I felt that strongly.
