Seize chance to lure Japanese companies leaving China, govt told

A Japanese manufacturing company in Penang. Tokyo has urged Japanese companies in China to restart their businesses elsewhere.

Yeah was commenting on a report that Japan has earmarked US$2.2 billion of its record economic stimulus package to help its manufacturers shift production out of China, as the pandemic disrupts supply chains between the major trading partners. “Some may not want to move back to Japan because of its aging population and high cost of production,” he said.

“This must be followed by speedy implementation of doing business with ease and giving full assistance to ensure they can start their operations immediately,” he said. However, he said an obstacle would be labour shortage and, because of that, Putrajaya should target medium and high-end investors such as those in electrical, electronics and medical equipment.
