Okay, I'll say it for you.
Mainland China, the world's largest junkyard, certainly doesn't want high quality, innovative items competing with their inferior garbage. Neither will they allow their citizens too much access to innovative cultures that might compete with their own backwards, state-indoctrinated one.
Japan has continued to advance and innovate, and their government encourages quality, innovation, arts and crafts.
Under the communists, China has placed itself back in the Dark Ages. There is no innovation under the communists because good citizens are trained to think as the state wishes them to think. Free thinking could someday result in the citizens realizing they're third world slaves and this could potentially threaten the communist party and their control of China.
China could learn much from Japan, but communists have extremely narrow vision. China is ahead of the world in manufacturing capacity, not quality. As long as we continue to subsidize those inferior $25 DVD players, we will continue to push ourselves out of jobs and into the third world.
I'd love to open up my cupboard and find an 80cc newborn yixing baby.
