Aside from this, says one economist, "At present the world economic situation is not good, trade barriers are everywhere; and add to this that each nation protects its technology more carefully--all these factors are less advantageous for us than they were for Japan."
此外，「現在世界經濟不景氣，到處有貿易壁壘，像我們去年對歐貿易成長了百分之五十九，馬上引起歐洲國家側目；加上現在各國對技術的保護比以前嚴密，不容易得到技術轉移，都是我們比日本不利的因素」，一位經濟學家說。
