Japan remains the world’s second-largest economic superpower and has long sustained international institutions through its responsibilities.
Yet Japan’s economic newspapers have failed their mission.
The only task that matters now is to make the Tokyo Stock Exchange the largest market in the world—this alone will guide and save the global economy.

What must be done is simple: immediately begin the work of making the Tokyo Stock Exchange the largest market in the world.
Japan is, in substance, still the world’s second-largest economic superpower.
That is precisely why, for example, Japan has long paid the largest share of contributions to the United Nations.
Considering that the United States frequently suspends its payments for its own convenience, Japan has borne an overwhelmingly large share of the financial burden in maintaining the organization known as the United Nations.
For an economic newspaper of a country that must lead the world alongside the United States for the next 170 years, this represents a complete failure.
You must understand and engrave in your minds that you cannot call yourselves the Nikkei, an economic newspaper of Japan.
Your lack of awareness—strictly speaking, your foolish incompetence—has borne responsibility for creating today’s extremely unstable world.
It is now urgently demanded of you that you finally recognize and feel that responsibility.
What must be done is nothing more than immediately undertaking the task of making the Tokyo Stock Exchange the largest market in the world.
And you must immediately realize that this alone is what will correctly guide and save the world.
To be continued.
