    In 1985 the US was Japan’s main customer, Japan exported a third more to the US than to Asia. Now, Asia buys 30% more than the US and three times as much as Europe. Japanese imports from Asia increased by 150% between 1985 and 1995, Now, Japan’s imports amount to $60 billion from Asia in 1993, compared to $ 50 billion from the US and $ 24 billion from Europe.
    In 1994, Japan invested $ 7.7 million in Asia. During the next few years, 75% of Japan’s direct investment will be there. Japanese investment in the Asian region is now $ 64 billion, as against US investment of $ 26 billion, or German investment of $ 7 billion.
