nop. japan got played by American on economy. specifically trade tariffs. which leads to inflation and crazy interest rates.
china has a different problem for the newer gen, lesser job ops (could be worsen due to AI), highly competitive society, and lowing birth rate

altho the two comes to similar situation where people demotivated to work, dont want to have children, can't get married, can't afford to own properties but generally china's economy is going to do better than jap..my 2 cents la

Go to their Airbnb and u will know pain in the a$$
Hotel is the last place u wanna dump everything sesuka hati into the bin
Airbnb I even had notices like ' if u don't know where to throw, just leave it (trash) here."
If want help to throw luggage bag + 300yen
Help to keep something +100 yen etc

This is akin to your father pass you down his Peugeot to you.

Free also don't want.

Then what the issue then? The house very small? Very close to red light district?

There is always some issue.

No one rejects free things.

inheritance taxes will kill you

imagine having to pay 10-15% tax on the house worth, if cannot pay then force sale

Its like inheriting a burden.

the issue is all the taxes, then u have to spend all the money cleaning it before you can start "building" it

buying a used house in japan isn't same like here where everything just throw to the street

there's a lot of money going out before you even start your step one unlike buying a new house...after you got the key, that's the beginning of step one

cost too expensive to dispose all the trash in the house....

my fren father left him a company, he dn wanna run it so he shut down the company

wonder why japan got no squatter illegally take it over, give it a paint and illegally rent it out on AirBnB

Not really. There are 2 main differences:

1) Japan bola kena pegang by US from the start. Can be argued that some of it was what Big Brother wanted.
2) Japan got overtaken by the "younger" economies like South Korea and China. China does not really have that problem currently.

There are similarities though, housing, domestic demand etc. But in terms of population age, governance and demographics, they are very different.

if here parent force the children to stay with them never tink of the kids working far away

I also don't want.

because they don't know what is the backstory of that residence(so pantang)

secondly, they don't do anything illegal(their jail is no fun)
thirdly...cleaning that residence cost a small fortune

so even if u do it legally, the house is completely free....well, it's still not really free

But you said its completely free (means no inheritance tax)

THE HOUSE is free....THE HOUSE

inheritance tax is not the only tax u gotta pay bro...stop thinking there's only one u have to pay
even here in malaysia even the house is literally free

system game the ppl

i don't want/need any properties from parents and have told them so. they can will it/give to others...as long as they can live long happy and healthy lives, i am content.
