Japan’s 1.6 percent rate of vaccination puts it on par with Myanmar, a failed state — not exactly a ringing endorsement of Tokyo’s shambolic rollout,” quips longtime Tokyo resident Jeff Kingston, head of Asia studies at Temple University’s local campus. “This is an own goal of epic proportions.”

I am so glad to see that my home country has become so respectable nowadays.
It has been a long way from a "trash dump" mentioned by Winston Churchill.
We've gone far enough not to worry about even competing against Japan.
Just let Japan be what they are,.. 왜구 as always,... What else?

지난 17일 니혼게이자이 신문은 코스피 상장을 앞둔 게임회사 크래프톤의 사례를 소개하면서 “세계 시장을 겨냥한 한국 기업들의 대형 상장이 이뤄지고 있다”고 전하며 위기감을 드러냈다. 닛케이는 방탄소년단(BTS)을 배출한 HYBE, 지난 3월 뉴욕 증시에 상장한 쿠팡을 언급하며 “한국은 유니콘 기업이 10개로 일본보다 많다. 일본 기업의 대형 상장이 적은 것은 세계 시장을 목표로 한 스타트업 육성이 뒤처지고 있기 때문”이라고 지적했다.

So, you all think Korea is now exceeding Japan? Too good to believe but it looks like an illusion to me! I wouldn't bet on Korea reached even half of what Japan achieved. If I may compare them in the research field of vascular surgery and medicine, basic and clinical both, Koreans are way behind to Japanese and now further to Chinese who finally caught up with.
Perhaps it might be the same in other fields I am afraid to say!

무엇보다 도쿄올림픽은 일본 국민의 지지를 받지 못하고 있다. 개최한다 해도 해외 관중은 갈 수가 없을 것이다. 일본은 도쿄올림픽을 유치하면서 20년 장기 불황을 극복하고 후쿠시마 원전 참사를 이겨낸 ‘일본 부흥’의 상징적인 행사로 삼으려고 했다. 일본의 국가적 자존심, 정치적 이해관계, IOC의 상업성이 맞물리면서 올림픽 정신을 훼손할 수 있다고 우려한다.

*Japan is certainly more advanced than SK for now. But it is also true that
Japan is gravely trending down and SK is brilliantly trending up. Up until
mid 19th century when Opium War broke out, Qing was number 1 in GDP
in the world and the standard currency was silver that Qing demanded. But
she had begun to fall steeply.
I think that Japan is built by qualified leaders and implicitly obedient people.
The leaders were imperialists. They led the people and country to the destructive
war that ended with two atomic bombs. But the very imperialists did not perish.
They came back to power with the generosity of America and rebuilt the country
from the ash. Unfortunately, Korean War destroyed Korea, but it helped a great deal
Japanese's reconstruction. The imperialists are still in power and they are extremely
antiquated in the high-tech modern world.

You remind me of one of two books I got as a Father's Day gift from my daughter lately in regard to the Guadalcanal Campaign which vividly described how vicious (?) Jap soldiers were during WWII. I was so shocked at their incomprehensible loyalty to their emperor or whatchamacallit guy Hirohito they showed till the last person fought out. When American soldiers hesitated to shoot to kill as they asked, they simply did 'hara-kiri' to kill themselves shouting 'long live for Denno Heika/emperor'. I bet such discipline they have made the difference to lead Japan to become the world's second-richest country after the U.S. till lately!

It is indeed good for S. Korea to be recognized in that regard by other leaders.
In addition, SK will have enough Novavax vaccines manufactured there for the people.
What turned out to be a blessing for SK is the fact that the Novavax vaccine is the ideal vaccine
against COVID-19 without any concern whatsoever in regard to containing genetic material
as is the case for Pfizer's and Moderna's.
