The Japanese artificial intelligence industry may be technically less sophisticated and structurally less developed than its counterpart in the U.S., but it is certainly no less promising as a high technology sector. In fact, the industry's relative immaturity, in this instance, is an important characteristic identifying it as an attractive investment opportunity. Further, the disparity between Japanese AI capabilities and those of other leading industrial nations will inevitably result in many binational trading and licensing relationships, making the careful study of the Japanese AI effort vitally important from a trade and investment perspective as well as from a public policy standpoint.
When the person who establishes specified base stations pertaining to the establishment plan that was granted approval under paragraph of the preceding Article (when the change of the establishment plan is attested, the changed plan; hereinafter referred to as "the attested plan") (the person is hereinafter referred to as "the attested establisher") files with the Minister of Internal Affairs and Communications an application for a change in the designated frequency, when determining that the change is particularly necessary for eliminating interference and other matters, the Minister of Internal Affairs and Communications may change the designation.

There seem to be religious overtones in his writing, and I am sometimes reminded of the Shintoist prophecies which hold that Japan is a "miniature" of the entire world. We can be sure that he is no crackpot, and it would obviously be inappropriate to react to his ideas emotionally, however unpleasant are their implications for our entire civilization. I would not be surprised to find many Americans agreeing with some of the elements in his analysis if they were presented somewhat less gloatingly. I must admit that I am impressed by Dr. Umano's obvious originality and erudition and, certainly, thankful for his frankness. Except for some out-and-out chauvinists like Sadahiko Tamura, who can hardly be taken seriously, few Japanese have expressed their misgivings about America so frankly or enunciated their sense of Japan's superiority so openly. Reading between the lines of Japanese newspapers, I do frequently notice the same attitude — a sort of smugness about foreigners and their uncouthness.
