3、: Little by little, Ive come to think that whats remarkable about Japan is that there is so much potential. I can see it inside and outside Nissan, but so little is delivered.

10、, I asked if there was anything they wanted to tell me as we worked to come up with a plan. They said: “Yes, we have something.

11、ery solid relationship with China. When you see the transfers of technologies, the investments and collaborations, Japan is finding very smart ways to associate itself with the government.
