By exporting their culture through anime, manga, video games, etc, the Japanese have managed to promote themselves in a positive manner. Japan as a country is something else though, especially their judiciary. Great video Jake

[ShortHax]

I think they were just jealous of his killer samurai eyebrows

[splotbang]

Result: This high profile case has sabotaged Japan's ability to attract senior executive talent and to transform the culture of their business operational environment. In the 90s I was offered a mid level management position in Japan which would have required me to relocate there. I turned down this lucrative offer as I understood enough about Japanese culture to know that I would be treated as a 2nd class citizen and would have zero chance of promotion.

[zachjones]

Career advancement based on seniority only breeds mediocrity.

Even if the man is guilty of everything the Japanese accuse him of, they treated him horribly as a suspect and I wouldn't be confident he'd receive a fair trial in the country under those circumstances.

[cassidymugadza]

They were just embarrassed that a foreigner came in and saved a Traditionally Japanese company so shame and jealousy crept in and they railroaded him plain and simple. I wouldn't be confident he'd receive a fair trial in the country under those circumstances.

[metanoia]

Japan is so hostile to foreigners, my aunt did a lot of business there in the 90s. As a Lebanese, I was convinced from the start that it was a powerplay and conspiracy against Carlos Ghosn. Thank you for covering the topic.

[jimmywest]

Fun fact: Japan has a 90% conviction rate. If you get arrested, don't count on the court to help you. To Japan, the judicial system must prevail.

[Joshi-LastKing]

The way he had escaped proves how skillful he is during crisis of company or his own life

[rejvaik]

Remember when the japanese government refused to extradite former president of Peru Fujimori to face criminal charges simply because he was japanese descended?

[charlesatanasio]

The REAL irony is that after they resented him, they ended up doing the same things to try and remain profitable.

Total lol at that.

[CodeMeat]

In Chinese, we have a thousand years old meme:

功高盖主, 必死无疑
In a kingdom, when your effort/contribution/power is exceeded the king, you are dead.

Probably true everywhere nowaday

I have no clue how you manage to keep up this pace for releasing videos, improving the quality each time. Jake, you're both a legend and a madman.

I'm 100% Japanese and I can confirm that Japanese are very racially exclusive especially in the business sector. Not only that but they are exclusive against any coworkers that are disagreeable or 'doesn't fit the group'. Both my parents hated this culture and ran away, my mother being a very extroverted outgoing character and my father for being a misfit introvert. No matter the case, Japanese culture is strictly on the norm of "出た杭は打たれる" which is borderline illegal in the United States, for instance just imagine being outcast in a work environment because you're from Nigeria and don't speak English too well. I'm sure this happens, but with proof you can bring it to court. This is just culture but it's borderline questioning human ethics as well. Post-war Japanese has started to be more receptive of outside culture, but even then this sociological ideal has not, especially in the older generations. The anime and gaming industry has an edge towards outside culture because even that was outcasted by the society for a long time. Manga is deviant! and people who delve into them are Otakus! Only in the past generation has this pressure been relieved via further popularity in anime. But in my parents generation people they would strictly stop them from watching any animes, though even then some staple comedic animes were starting to track mainstream attention like Starblazers.

The most painful part of the story is hearing that the Americans handed over the green beret and his son to be thrown in a medieval Japanese prison for pretty much freeing a hostage.

[Thawra.]

Carlos is a legend they teach his techniques in universities and the Japanese even made a cartoon about him. But their hatred for the foreigner made them loose a legend

[skylerrutherford]

I would have NEVER thought I would have felt bad for a CEO until now

[timothychang]

I share Jake's view of Asian culture. I grew up with a ton of Chinese pride, but while I still love the heritage that I was born with, age and experience has given me a more critical view of Asian culture. There's a lot to like, but the conformity and mindless adherence to tradition can create uncreative drones. That's why their smartest come here, where their creativity and intellect will be rewarded.

Japan judicial system is not very ideal. It is pretty much, "guilty until proven innocent". Like example, in USA, once arrested, you have 48-72 hours (it is usually 48 hours, the 72 hours is there because of federal holidays and weekend issues) to make an initial case, and a bail hearing to set bail or no bail and held in jail if the personnel is deemed to dangerous to be released even if not convicted. (This is a bail hearing)

In Japan though, this rule is VERY different, even without trial or conviction, Japan is allowed to have 21 DAYS before the bail hearing. AND you are allowed to add "new charges" to reset bail. (This is illegal in USA, you CANNOT reset bail time before hearing under any circumstances) Because of this, Japan police, they initially charge you with 1 crime, then it is 21 days, and JUST before your time is up and for bail trial, they "add another crime" for now you are charged with 2 accounts. So now, you are reset for another 21 days fresh. This strat can be done infinitely until you run out of additional crime to add. The japan police do this so they can get a "conviction statement of guilt" from the person with their signed consent with no lawyer involvement. Is this highly illegal? In other 1st world nations, YES. However, in Japan, it is not. (For example, the neighbor country South Korea, it is 14 days of lock time before initial bail hearing, and also, it cannot be reset under any reason.) So for example, say they arrest you and the police have 10 charges initially, but they will officially charge you with 1 crime, then before 21 days, they'll reset the bail time with a 2nd charge, and they'll keep doing this until they use up their 10 charges. Also during this time, they'll dig up dirt to see if they can find additional charges they can add later to keep extending bail.

There is a reason why in Japan, conviction rate for arrested individuals is 99.99% for the prosecutors in trial. (Which is an INSANELY high conviction rate for a 1st world country) Alot of the times, if you get arrested in Japan, it is just easier to "admit your guilt" in hopes for a lighter sentence.

it's pretty straightforward why Nissan wants him gone, it's not just an issue of patriotism but an issue of national interest. if Nissan merges with a foreign company, or have majority foreign shareholder and operations, the company could very much lose at lot of revenue for the Japanese government(especially bad considering the debt crisis), and the company could also lose a lot of special favors or subsidies from the government, and that is not to mention the Yakuza investment in the company.
