Japan‟s lack of enthusiasm for outsourcing to China is due to the concern over anti-Japanese sentiment and the desire to protect their intellectual property and to a belief that manufacturing remains a core Japanese competency. It‟s not because Japan is short of capital. It is because the government recognizes that inviting in foreign firms is an indirect means of promoting reform, by exposing sleepy Japanese firms, particularly in the service sector, to a dose of competition. Foreign firms need to understand the local market but must also carefully craft a strategy for the Japanese market. Foreign firms are essentially targets of learning for Japanese firms. They can bring in new ideas which are then assimilated to the Japanese firms.
