As for medicine, water and medical treatment... Your government makes the medicine, your government runs the water company and your government runs your hospitals? Seems like a recipe for disaster. Just out of curiosity, what country do you live in?

Yes. Japan is a regional and major economic competitor to china, russia and korea and the US. But what's your point? They are also a major trading partner to all those countries.

Sure, blind mistrust is bad as blind trust. But there are plenty of reasons for people to distrust governments. It's why we have rights to protect ourselves from the government. And the last government I'd trust is the japanese government if I were the japanese people considering how they were so willing to throw their citizens lives away on kamikaze missions and endure endless firebombings and nukes.
