Japan's exports tumble as U.S. demand slumps

Exports to China, Japan's largest trading partner, rose 8.2% in the year to July

Really disappointing that Japanese corporations are doing increasing business with Communist China. It is well past time to wind back trade and dealings with Communist China and look to places that do not commit genocide, mass human rights abuses, subverting of freedoms in Hong Kong and turning it into a police-state, and illegal expansionist behavior in the region.

Someone needs to read these Japanese Corporations the riot act.

 shipments to the United States - Japan's key market - declined 19.5% in the year to July.

Don't expect the Trump economy to recover any time soon.

I know for a fact that demand isn't the problem for some business, it's being unable to ship to the USA from Japan by EMS now.

If its any help I think that all of the countries are in the same boat, all have declining exports. in the UK they are forecasting a massive recession next year. ( I hope not) I can see a lot more companies going bust at this rate.

Not good.

Why ???. Japan and Americans are best trading partners.
