2028 World Forecast: Summary and Step-by-Step Breakdown
1. Post-Olympics and Expo: Japan's Economic Outlook
- The 2021 Tokyo Olympics and the 2025 Osaka Expo are already finished.
- The expected economic growth did not materialize, and their impact was minimal.
- The Expo is predicted to be "a waste of economic policy."
- Japan's economic future looks grim, with little hope for growth.
2. Systemic Issues in Japan's Political and Economic Structure
- The combination of "democracy + bureaucratic state" is dysfunctional.
- Bureaucrats lead policy, but results are lacking.
- Economically successful countries are often those with dictatorships or compromising systems.
- Japan's "democracy + bureaucratic state" is losing competitiveness.
- If Japan continues on this path, it could follow the UK disease (decline) or Italy's path (underground economy).
3. Japan's Future: Two Paths to Choose From
- The UK Disease/Italy Path
- Decline with pride as a former great power.
- Rising unemployment and the expansion of the "shadow economy."
- Pleasure state (eroticism, gourmet food, manga culture).
- Japan pushes its strengths (eroticism, food, manga) to the forefront.
- Shift to a legal theme-park-like state, similar to Las Vegas, focusing on tourism.
4. Global Population Trends and International Relations
- By 2028, all developed countries will experience population decline.
- China’s population decline will become even more severe than Japan’s.
- The economic decline of developed nations will usher in a new era of international politics dominated by rising powers.
- The economic decline of developed nations will usher in a new era of international politics dominated by rising powers.
- Existing international institutions (such as the UN) will lose influence.
- A chaotic world dominated by strong leaders will emerge.
5. International Politics in 2028
- A "Warring States Era" political environment.
- Leaders with strong personalities (dictatorial rulers) will dominate the world.
- Frequent betrayals of treaties and shifts in alliances will occur.
- Impact of Trump's re-election (2024).
- A revision of the Japan-US Security Treaty is inevitable.
- Japan will be required to "independently strengthen its defense capabilities.
- In reality, Japan may be forced to purchase weapons from the US military-industrial complex.
- Japan's Survival Strategy
- The "opposition-state" route (balancing diplomacy among major powers).
- Japan will have to build flexible relationships with the US, China, and Russia.
- Establish its own position in relation to the EU and other economic groups.
Conclusions
- In 2028, a transformation of Japan’s economic policies and international relations will be unavoidable.
- Economic growth will not come from the Olympics or Expo.
- Japan will face a choice between the "decline route" or the "pleasure state route."
- Globally, population decline will accelerate, and the era of "dictatorial states" will begin.
- Japan will need to adopt a flexible diplomatic strategy as an "opposition-state."
This breakdown makes it clear how the world may move in 2028.

7 Techniques for Better Relationships from Mozi: A Logical and Step-by-Step Summary
Introduction
- Relationships have a profound impact on life.
- Mozi's teachings offer essential techniques for building strong connections.
- Avoiding pointless arguments, embracing humility, and using wisdom effectively are key.
7 Techniques for Better Relationships
1. Avoid Pointless Arguments
- When a debate starts, people tend to defend their opinions even more strongly.
- Winning an argument may hurt the other person’s pride and create resentment.
- Prioritize trust over temporary victories.
- Identify the true purpose of a discussion and focus on what truly matters.
2. Be Humble and Open-Minded
- Avoid arrogance, accept criticism, and correct your mistakes.
- Recognizing others’ strengths and learning from them leads to personal growth.
- True humility is not just a surface-level attitude but a sincere way of thinking.
- No matter how capable one is, they are just a small part of the vast world.
3. Do Not Show Off Your Talents Excessively
- The wise do not flaunt their abilities; sometimes, they even feign ignorance.
- "Concealing talent and appearing foolish" is a strategy to protect oneself and maximize potential.
- Seeking attention is not inherently bad, but disregarding harmony with others can create hostility.
- Hiding one's abilities can prevent jealousy and ensure smooth interactions.
4. Recognize the Right Time, Place, and Person
- Truly wise individuals use knowledge only in appropriate situations.
- Rather than showing off intelligence, it should be applied only when necessary.
- Misusing wisdom can lead to unintended consequences and even danger.
- Strategic use of intelligence ensures its effectiveness.
5. Know How to Handle Manipulative People
- People can be classified as "noble-minded" or "self-serving."
- Noble-minded individuals are fair and honest, while self-serving people act based on personal gain.
- Self-serving individuals tend to exploit others, so keeping a cautious distance is wise.
- "You can accept goodwill from the noble, but resentment from the self-serving lasts a lifetime."
6. Avoid Surrounding Yourself with Flatterers
- People often try to maintain harmony in families and social settings.
- However, those who only offer comforting words without giving honest advice are not true friends.
- A truly valuable friend is someone who tells the truth, even when it is hard to hear.
7. Empty Yourself to Accept Others
- Excessive pride drives away those who offer valuable advice.
- Instead of rejecting differing opinions, engage in self-reflection first.
- Keeping an open mind leads to new insights and personal growth.
- Like an overflowing cup, one must create space within to absorb more wisdom.
