My experience is not just that there were high standards. For example, food companies in Ireland operate to a high standard but the Japanese have vague and big regulations. The list is long. I only refer to the food sector. Tesco made us in the UK and it has rigid standards. Its representatives can walk into a company unannounced any minute of the day. Japan has vague regulations and one would not know what they mean. The Japanese are determined to mind their own business and their own markets.
