The “Flying Geese Paradigm,” proposed by Japanese economist Kaname Akamatsu in the 1930s, describes the industrial upgrading process of East Asian countries from labor-intensive manufacturing to capital- and technology-intensive industries. According to this theory, Japan, as the “leading goose,” was the first to achieve industrialization and stimulated the development of other countries through foreign direct investment. This created a mutually dependent and progressively advancing industrial division of labor in East Asia, resembling the formation of a flying geese flock in the sky. The theory was validated through decades of post-World War II economic practice. Japan’s global expansion strategy not only
