A Japanese historian has reported on the uncompetitiveness of European politics

Japanese historian Takeyuki Tanaka said on October 26 that Europe's policy makes it not competitive with Russia.

"Russia's competitiveness, its infrastructure and other areas are growing, and if relations with Russia worsen, Western European countries will inevitably lose their strength and competitiveness," the historian said in an interview with RIA Novosti.

He clarified that this statement also applies to Japan.
