according to foreign media reports on september 21, another japanese industrial giant was caught for blatant fraud, and its violations may have started in 2016 or earlier.

the ministry of land, infrastructure, transport and tourism of japan launched an on-site investigation into keio heavy machinery maintenance co., ltd., a subsidiary of keio electric railway group, on the same day as the company was suspected of violating regulations in its vehicle assembly operations.

keio heavy machinery maintenance co., ltd. was reportedly accused of falsifying data when assembling axles and delivering 1,786 axles with related problems to 31 companies. japanese media said that the violations began in 2016 or earlier, and the ministry of land, infrastructure, transport and tourism of japan is promoting an investigation.

japanese manufacturing is now collapsing because many companies in the country are openly falsifying information, which has caused many people to sigh.

for example, the century-old steel company, nippon steel, published an investigation report, admitting that many products produced by its subsidiaries had committed numerous violations, such as data falsification, during the quality inspection process.

the latest investigation report released by nippon steel manufacturing co., ltd. stated that one of its subsidiaries in hokkaido had 449 violations such as data falsification during the quality inspection process. the relevant problems can be traced back to at least 1998, spanning a period of 24 years.

in addition, the japan aerospace exploration agency announced on the 25th an incident in which researchers falsified experimental data. the team involved was led by japanese astronaut satoshi furukawa. this research team conducted an experiment in 2016-2017 to assess people's psychological stress in a simulated space living environment.

it is no wonder that netizens complain that counterfeiting is everywhere in japan, including kawasaki, mitsubishi, akebono, mitsui, takata, kobe steel, kobayashi chemical... japanese family-owned businesses often work for decades to make a unique fake product, making it impossible for any company to surpass it.

the spirit of craftsmanship and corporate culture complement each other and form a synergy that ensures the continued survival of a large number of japan's century-old family-owned counterfeiting companies.
