"a new company to be set up by the Innovation Network Corporation of Japan, an investment fund backed by the government"..."the new company to be called UniCarriers Corp., in which the INCJ will invest a total of JPY 30 billion (USD 386.4 million)"
gee what ever happened to a business NOT being funded by a government, and governments NOT picking companies to win or lose. seems to me to be less than a level playing field. I wonder if anyone in the USA or EU is looking to get anywhere near 386 Mill from their government to be able to acquire and/or reduce the cost of their debt.

Fact of the week
Brothers Adolf ("Adi") and Rudolf ("Rudi") Dassler split their shoe company after WWII due to a bitter feud, and established the rival companies of Adidas and Puma. Their personal animosity and business rivalry divided their German hometown Herzogenaurach. The town became known as "the town of bent necks" due to the intense loyalty to each brand.
