Have to soak up useless assets that no foreign investor wants to buy.

After the 1990s economic bubble collapse, most of the foreign investors, with the help of vulture funds, could have easily bought all of Japanese private sectors. However, Zai-techs have created insane, dumb speculative bubbles that do not attribute a profitable reality for most of their portfolios. This is why foreign investors didn't invest in Japan much, hence the Lost Decades continue unabated for many decades more and ongoing.

The only ones, who are willing to buy those useless Japanese assets, are the Chinese. The Chinese investors only do it for political reasons, and this is why most of Japan scare of the Chinese influence for a good reason. Not one of any racist, far-right organization in Japan, even right-wing Yakuzas, dare to attack any Chinese or burn any Chinatown. Japan's Lost Decades can easily end tomorrow if Japanese politicians remove all barriers for foreign investments. The Chinese investors are willing to save Japan's economy in a heartbeat, for a political price. Of course, the USA won't ever allow Japan to fall into Chinese domination.
