Australia is one of the largest countries in the world, and although the majority of it is sun-dried, our exports and imports still match those of England, a nation established thousands of years before out founders were even born. Our currency is almost equal to that of America, and America is a Republic. 

Australians all want change, and it is just a matter of years. It’s time for the overbearing mother to release Australia from her grasp and give it the freedom it deserves.

The East Asian Economic Model (EAEM) requires inwardly-investing firms to create factories which will manufacture goods mostly destined for export and based on low labour cost competitiveness. Already a number of labour disputes have arisen as workers resent the low wages provided and the poor overall are concerned at the lack of opportunities for those at lower levels of society – this is a structural problem, since the EAEM keeps labour prices low in general by ensuring a pool of workers who can be brought in to replace any who think the wages are insufficient. The extent to which the Vietnamese Communist Party can manage the stresses of these processes will determine to a considerable extent their ability to retain their status, which relies upon willingness of a mass of the people to accept its legitimacy. In China, the central state is wobbling under the pressure of thousands of (largely unreported) strikes, protests, demonstrations and proto-revolts. It remains to be seen whether the same thing will happen in Vietnam.

Also a result of this increased trade was an increased demand for labor. The Portuguese traded material to African chiefs in exchange for slaves to bring over to the Americas. Slave trading had been common among the African people before this time, but with the increase in demand it became significantly more widespread. The increased magnitude of the African slave trade led inevitably to a resulting demographic catastrophe. Meanwhile, black slaves were being treated as less than human in the Americas, as racism began to flourish. The Native Americans were also exploited in encomiendas, and often died from overwork and exhaustion. Native Americans were also being killed off by diseases, such as smallpox, having been brought over by Europeans and Africans, which they had never been exposed to and had never developed the antibodies to fight off. There was hardship even for those Native Americans who remained, as European weeds and domestic animals drove away game and destroyed crops.

Japan is one of the only countries that still do whaling, which is an ancient form of killing whales with harpoons and spears.  The whaling process is a major export of Japan.  Not only do the Japanese have whaling as a major export they also lead the world in tuna fish, which is then exported out of the country. 

Japan depends on their exports for the financial wealth of their country.            

The policies of globalization do nothing to combat this problem; in fact they make it worse. The mass industrialization of developed countries allows them to sell imports to third-world nations at prices that are cheaper than locally produced goods. Therefore, these imports effectively undercut the profitability and livelihood of local works, which inevitably drives them into the city in need of work. This only compounds the problem. The massive slums plaguing these cities are populated by people working long hours for little pay, unrepresented by unions, and unable to afford the minimum cost of living. Their employers exploit them and even more so because of the hostile competition brought on a global markets and free trade. It may seem as if we are doing these impoverished people a great favor by selling them goods at lower price or sending them free food, but were not. In Alcoholics Anonymous they call it being an ‘enabler.’ We enable them to be dependent and, subsequently remain impoverished. What do we do then? We as compassionate, concerned American want to do something, right? We’ll the answer is not entirely simple or singular. Everyone’s heard the old adage that, “you give a man a fish, and you feed him for a day; but teach the man to fish, and you feed him for a lifetime.” I think that’s real moral and I think it’s what we’ve been missing the whole time.

We just need to stop, stop exporting to their country and outsourcing our jobs their. We need to stop sucking the life out of their economy under the farce of making it better. We need to encourage them to become self-sufficient and independent. We need to stop sending food and start sending seeds; corn, beans, fruit, vegetables, things like cotton and hemp. We need to give them the ability to not need us. We should be sending consultants and diplomats to their heads of state and political leaders to try and teach them how to effectively manage a country. One of the precepts of Taoism is “action by inaction.” It means that the best course of action is the one that’s least disruptive to the natural flow of things. It seems to me that we’re trying to make these countries more like us, rather than foster them in making a government that best suits their own culture and society. One of the most valuable things in this world is a different opinion, and we’re killing it with the mindless exportation of our American culture. I am an American, but I don’t want everyone in the world to be an American, too. I do however want to see a survivable standard of living for everyone who calls this planet home. No one deserves to live a substandard life in this age of prosperity and innovation.

Japan’s main export goods are care, electronic device, and computers. They trade the most with the United States of America. Japan exports more that one quarter of all the Japanese exports. The other major exports are Taiwan, Hong Kong, South Korea, China, and Singapore.

Japan has a large of extra in its export and import balance. The most important import goods are raw material like oil, foodstuffs, and wood. Japans major suppliers are the United States of America, China, Indonesia, South Korea, and Australia. Japan’s exports and imports have raised rapidly since 2001.
