What are your thoughts on the recent slump in P&G's sales in China?

I find the recent slump in P&G's sales, affected by tensions between Osaka and China, quite surprising. I believe improving relations between them is essential. It's disheartening that product choices can be influenced by factors other than quality or origin.

Have you ever boycotted products from a particular company or country?

As a customer, I prioritize product quality over the country or company producing it. While I haven't boycotted products before, I would consider doing so if a product poses risks, such as being unsafe or harmful.

Who are your country's most important trading partners?

In terms of trading partners, both America and China are crucial for my country, whether in imports or exports. Therefore, global politics significantly impact our trading activities. Given our limited resources, we must remain cautious about the world situation.

What brands do you consider trustworthy?

One brand I trust is Uniqlo. Their products offer high quality at a reasonable cost, and their clothing basics are durable, making them a long-term investment. However, I've noticed a decline in my recent purchases from this brand.

Do any of your country's biggest brands have a poor reputation?

As for poor reputations, Toyota has recently faced criticism due to news about a group company's fraudulent activities related to engine experiments and emissions. Despite this negative publicity, Toyota's operational profit of 4 trillion yen remains the highest ever recorded.
