Have you ever heard of the saying that "the United States harvests Japan"? The recent sharp decline in the yen exchange rate has brought this topic back to life. But what is the truth? Could it be that the United States is really "harvesting" Japan and "handily" harvesting China's "Jingri" and "Runri" as well? Don't worry, let's dig into the mystery together.
Speaking of the collapse of the yen exchange rate, it was really thrilling. Not long ago, the yen fell to a record low against the dollar, which frightened many investors. You may ask, why is this yen suddenly "worthless"? In fact, there are complex economic factors at work behind this.
U.S. monetary policy is an important driver. In recent years, the Federal Reserve has implemented a series of interest rate hikes in response to domestic economic conditions. As soon as this interest rate hike policy came out, the dollar became more valuable, and correspondingly, other currencies depreciated relatively. The Japanese yen is one of them.
Now let's talk about the wealthy Chinese who have moved their assets to Japan. Some of them may have taken a fancy to Japan's economic environment and development potential, but they did not expect to encounter the "pit" of the depreciation of the yen. No, their assets have also shrunk a lot in the process of the depreciation of the yen. It's really laughable!
We have to mention the so-called "Jingri" and "Runri". These words are very popular on the Internet. To put it simply, "Seihi" refers to those who are spiritually close to Japan, while "Juni" refers to those who choose to live or work in Japan. The depreciation of the yen has also had a big impact on their lives.
Is the United States really "harvesting" Japan? Actually, this question is not so simple. In today's globalized world, the economies of various countries are closely interconnected, and changes in monetary policy often trigger a series of chain reactions. The U.S. interest rate hike policy led to an increase in the value of the U.S. dollar, which did have an impact on the yen exchange rate. But it would be an exaggeration to say that the United States is deliberately "harvesting" Japan.
The depreciation of the yen has also reminded us that investment is risky, and we need to be cautious when entering the market! When choosing to invest or transfer assets, we must keep our eyes open and do a good job of risk assessment.
Now that the yen has depreciated so badly, how do those Chinese tycoons who have a lot of assets in Japan feel? Do they regret that their bowels are blue? And how have the lives of those "Jingri" and "Runri" changed?
The sharp decline in the yen exchange rate has undoubtedly had a big impact on those who have invested or lived in Japan. But it also shows us the complexity and uncertainty of the global economy. In this unpredictable world, we must learn to assess the situation and invest rationally.
You may have gained a new understanding of the saying that "the United States harvested Japan."
