Which country paid for that research budget?

 U.S. geoscientist Syukuro Manabe was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics.
His nationality is definitely U.S.A., but...

Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida issued a statement this month saying, "As a Japanese citizen, I am proud of the Nobel Prize in Physics awarded to Dr. Syukuro Manabe, a senior researcher at Princeton University.

The BBC reported him as an American, but news programs in Japan reported him as "a Japanese who won the Nobel Prize although his nationality is USA.

He is a Japanese-American, and as such, Japanese news programs frequently tend to report the achievements of Japanese-Americans as if they were the achievements of the Japanese people.

This is true not only in the field of science and technology, but also in the field of sports.

The Japanese Prime Minister should not be carefree and should take seriously the fact that many excellent Japanese researchers have given up their Japanese citizenship to become researchers in the US.


Japan is a country that does not budget for education or research, so it will continue to decline.

I had lost all interest in computers since the iPad came out in 2010, because what I really wanted was a computer like the iPad, not a desktop or a laptop. For a few years after the iPad came out, I was so enthusiastic about it that I bought every new iPad model that came out. The Windows desktop I assembled in 2008 didn't need much performance, s

Non-tariff barriers for Japanese imports.

Image
  My Toyota GAIA Limited and my friend's Ford Mustang GT, both 1999 models. In Japan, there are no tariffs on imported cars, but because Japanese cars are not compliant with the international VIN code and are Galapagos cars, maintenance shops in town can only obtain maintenance manuals for cars sold for the domestic market, However, with regard to imported cars, even if the car was imported and sold by an authorized dealer in Japan, the imported car dealers sell the imported car at a high price, looking at the customer's footsteps with the image strategy that the imported car is a "luxury car" more than it really is, and they charge a high price for maintenance. Only millionaires like AFJ people can easily afford to buy them. In addition to this, even authorized dealers have to wait a long time for replacement parts for repairs to arrive, and I think the problem is that the nature of the market forces fewer and fewer imported cars. In addition, even for models sold i
