Your recent piece when mentioning Japan is very wrong. Japan is having a torrid time. This is also only the beginning. Japan has lost a trend rate averaged number of 10% of GDP with 8 million people passing away so far. 3 million have immigrated, but not doing as well as hoped. Japanese people are poorer, much poorer, have little hope for the future and certainly aren't consuming as much. Within 10 years they will fail to function and fund core areas of their society. Their own Japanese PM says as much and the data says so too. China, well they're not just declining, they're collapsing and will overtake Japan's situation within just the next few years.
