International trade. In many ways, the driving force of Japan’s economy
is international trade. By trading with other nations, Japan obtains
the raw materials it does not have and finds buyers for the expensive,
high-quality manufactured goods its workers produce.
Japan’s largest single import is crude oil. Other major imports include
chemicals, fish and shellfish, and metal ores. Japan buys many of its
imports from Asian nations with small populations and few consumers.
Some of Japan’s trading partners are relatively poor. As a consequence,
Japan is seldom able to sell to its trade partners enough
manufactured goods to maintain an equal balance of imports and exports.
To find buyers for Japan’s expensive products, the nation looks to
wealthy countries in North America and Western Europe. Since the end
of World War II, the United States has bought the largest share of
Japan’s exports. In the 1950’s, the United States purchased
inexpensive Japanese textile products. Later, it began to buy more
costly goods, such as automobiles and communications and computer
equipment.
The United States sells Japan many American goods in return, including
expensive items, such as computers and medicines. However, Japanese
trade barriers place restrictions on many imports. By the 1980’s, the
United States was buying far more from Japan that it was selling to it.
The inequality led to a large trade imbalance between the two nations.
In the early 1990’s, a similar imbalance arose between Japan and the
nations of north and East Asian and Western Europe.
Japan’s trade surpluses enabled it to accumulate huge reserves of
foreign currency, in an amount that was second only to the foreign
reserves of the United States. Japan used some of its reserves to invest
in factories, banks, businesses, and real estate in the United States
and many other countries.
Just as Japan was reaping these successes, Canada, the United States,
and Western Europe were suffering economic slowdowns. People in other
nations began to envy and resent Japan for its trade surpluses, large
reserves of foreign currencies, and heavy investment in other countries.
Under pressure, Japan began to lift some of its trade barriers.
