In 1995, O.J. Simpson was acquitted of murder charges, Coolio’s “Gangsta’s Paradise” topped the charts, and the first Toy Story movie hit the theaters.

Nissan’s U.S. plants are currently producing 600,000 vehicles annually but have capacity for one million, so Meunier wants to increase production. He also plans to bring back the Xterra, a rugged off-road vehicle that represents “the perfect combination of what Nissan is about—the affordability, the fun and the durability,” he said.

But it will take a lot more than that to reverse Nissan’s slide that began nearly a decade ago. Nissan reported its fifth-straight quarterly net loss last month and it is closing seven of its 17 factories globally and cutting 20,000 jobs. The automaker has struggled to find direction since the arrest of its longtime chief executive, Carlos Ghosn, in 2018. Its plight—as Japan’s No. 3 carmaker—became so dire that the Japanese government last year encouraged a rushed merger with its stronger rival Honda, but the tie-up fell apart.

“The Japanese government’s basic position regarding Taiwan remains as stated in the 1972 Japan-China Joint Communique, and there has been no change to this position,” Takaichi said. According to the 1972 communique, “the government of the People’s Republic of China reiterates that Taiwan is an inalienable part of the territory of the People’s Republic of China” and the Japanese government “fully understands and respects this stand”.
