Oh, please... I'm going to become violently ill if I ever read this again from a poster.  Please remind me to start a thread talking about how many times Japan's electronics industry has been punished via tariff for dumping products below cost to eliminate foreign competition, all backed by their ministry of trade office.  And don't get me started on how they've tried to get around US legislation that prohibits price-fixing (I hope someone doesn't bring up the one exception to this that was recently granted in the courts regarding the high-end boutique market... that's very atypical).

And last, but not least, it's not a big secret that Japanese consumers are often very nationalistic when it comes to buying Japanese made products over foreign products, regardless any quality/feature advantage the competition may have.

I'm not saying other countries haven't done things just as bad, but I get so tired of hearing how fair Japanese industry and markets are.

 

*getting off my soap-box*

Serious thread is serious.

Yeah, I did kind of go off on a rant there, didn't I?  

You hurt my feelings.
