RE: domestic market

One reason that Japanese companies produced world class high-tech products is that the keiretsu competed aggressively within a protected (isolated) domestic market. The West remained somewhat unaware of the new high-tech products about to hit the world market.

With foreign companies attentive to the Japanese market, Japan has lost an important part of their previous success -- surprise attack on the product front.

IMO this is a fundamental loss for Japan.
