Historical proof that globalization does not necessarily mean homogenization can be seen in Japan, a country that deliberately isolated itself from earlier waves of globalization. In the middle of the nineteenth century, Japan became the first Asian country to embrace globalization, and to borrow successfully from the world without losing its uniqueness.
历史证明全球化并不一定意味着同一化。例如日本。日本曾经有意使自己和全球化隔离开来，直到19世纪中叶，日本才成为第一个接受全球化的亚洲国家，并从世界其他国家成功借鉴了很多东西，与此同时也没有失去自己的独特性。
