China or India for Japan

Next several decades the relations between the United States and Japan will not change dramatically.
The United States, the Untited Kingdom and Japan will have same kind of political philosophies and will be no big change.

For Japan, the changes of two big countries in Asia that are China and India are her geart interests.

China has one hundred thirty million and India has one hudred million people.
The total populations of those two contries is one third of the world.
Both countries are growing with high speed and changing dramatically even they have some difficulties and problems inside the countries and with surrounding nations.

China is very close to Japan and Japanese invest a lot of money to China, that seems too much now.
About 15% of foreign investment to China is from Japan.
To India, Japan invests only one thirtyth of that of China. It is very small.

We have many people from India recently same as in the U.S. They are mostly Hi-Tec industry businessmen and women.
In Tokyo there is an " Indian Town" at the eastside of the town.
So the distance between two contries has been getting closer rapidly.

India had sent two elephants to Japan in 1946 or7.
I remember the ceremony as we went to see them for a school activities.
In Japanese zoos at that time there were no animals, because during the war they poisoned the
animals to prevent them escaping from the zoos by bombardments.

That was my first time to go to a zoo and see elephants.
One of the elephants, named "Indira"lived very long.
