However, the more noteworthy one seems to be the US-Japan technical friction that has occurred since the 1980s in parallel with trade friction. Technical friction is the competition between the two sides for the superior status of cutting-edge technology, as well as mutual restrictions and disputes on the transfer of technology rather than pure product conflicts. Such frictions surpass the category of pure economic issues. In the long run, there will undoubtedly be more than pure trade.
