There is a great earthquake in northeastern Japan on March11,2011. As we allknow, Japan is a key part in the global industrial chain. The earthquake not only damagedthe industrial chain in Japan, but also made a negative impact on the global industrialchain."Industrial nation" Japan is a world leader in the continuing research anddevelopment of new products, new technologies for a long time. Japan is the world’sleading producer of electronic products, supplier of the world’s major electronics factory.High-tech electronics is an important pillar industry in Japan. In the process of industrialtransfer, Japan have transferred many technology products manufacturing to foreigncountries except high technical content of electronic components, raw materials andsome other products. The core technology still lies in the hands of the Japanesecompanies. Japanese companies have a great impact on the global electronics supply andindustrial chain impact by taking control of core technology and raw materials. Due tothe impact of the cut-off and power shortages, Japanese companies face the decline inproduction capacity, parts supply disruptions and industry-strand breaks. Although someJapanese electronics companies will resume production, but Japan and China and theglobal electronics industry had a serious impact and huge impact. Resulting in the supplyinterruption, product prices, severe damage to the electronic products industry chain.In this paper, I take the Japanese electronics industry chain as the starting point toanalyze the impact of the earthquake on Japan’s economy, and analyze the JapanInternational Strategy under the background of the311great earthquake in Japan. Japanhas long been faced with increased labor costs, the appreciation of the currency, aging,high corporate tax and tariff barriers and other issues which hinder the recovery of theJapanese economy. After the earthquake, there was increasing the problem of inadequatesupply of electricity, nuclear crisis in a short time. Breaking industry chain also requirestime-consuming repairs. And industrial chain overseas transfer in Japan caused anotherdiscussion on the hollowing out of industry. How to ensure domestic control of coretechnology and stable production of core factory become difficult to weigh thecontradictions underthe premise of relying on overseas factories to obtain cost advantages of localization. No matter Japan’s economic development is among what kindof contradictions, these conditions has an extremely important reference for China’seconomic development. Whether the adjustment of industrial policy, the rise ofmultinational corporations, the global industrial chain convergence and security, inensuring independent intellectual property rights under the premise of how to do thetrade-off of all parties, but also to avoid to go to Japan once the wrong path, it is worthour consideration.
