    If you don't know the difference between Bonds and Loans you shouldn't be posting comments abut it. There is a universe of a difference in terms of liquidity. Which is why one is an investment while the other is a loan.

    mushroomcloud at 04:42 AM JST - 15th February "China didn't single handely save the world from financial collapse as you seem to think, they are in a growth period because they had holes in the ground for toilets just 10 years ago" Sorry Ossan, Yes they did. Guess who loaned money (China) to the country that caused >the financial collapse (U.S)? Unfortunately for you, Ossan, you underestimate how close we came to >entering into a depression. And when I say we, I mean it, as I live in >the same country as you and saw the devastation with my very own eyes >from the epicenter of where it happened. And yes, it was indeed China >that saved the world from economic collapse by putting into overdrive a >stimulus package that kept demand for every conceivable commodity. The >United States did put a stimulus package together as well, but guess who >loaned us the money to do so? This was all done at the time when the >U.S. and Western Europe were begging the Chinese to buy their sovereign >debt to keep their countries afloat. Yes, this happened. Perhaps you are >blind, deaf, but certainly not mute to what has happened over the past 3 >years? Or maybe you do not live in the United States?

    Sorry shroom but China did what it did to protect itself, it's own export markets, it's own foreign investments and foreign reserves. If the west's economy collapsed where would China be? Please don't give us this China was our savior routine as if there the world owes China a favor. And it really isavbout time you learned that buying debt securities is buying IOUs as an investment, not giving a LOAN as you like to repeat ad infinitum.

    oberst at 03:04 AM JST - 15th February "they are in a growth period because they had holes in the ground for toilets just 10 years ago. ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, look at it this way, the Chinese toilet makers will have a tremendously >huge potential market locally as the living standard moves up. It pays >for the japanese toilet makers to take advantage of this. But if japan >keep bashing China as " backward ", she won't make too many friends and >sell no toilets.

    Bingo. That's why Japanese business' don't "bash" China, they are at the forefront of investing in China and getting into China's growing consumer market. The only ones that do any "bashing" economically are the China supporters who obviously still carry a big chip on their shoulder. This despite the fact that the well-to-do Chinese consumers actually prefer Japanese products and foods over domestic brands because of quality and safety.

    mushroomcloud at 11:06 AM JST - 14th February So it's quite an achievement for Japan to hold on to the No.2 spot for >over 40 years. Too bad that the No.2 title for Japan is now a permanent >thing of the past.

    Shroom, one day China's economic title and growth will also become a permanent thing of the past. That's how economies work, there's no such thing as eternal prosperity and growth. And we all know that China's Economic title is a joke on a per capita basis. You don't see hordes of Japanese trying to illegally emmigrate to China do you? China didn't single handely save the world from financial collapse as you seem to think, they are in a growth period because they had holes in the ground for toilets just 10 years ago. Japan went from upper class to upper middle class. China is going from homeless to middle class. Of course China's growth is robust. Want to impress the world? Let's see China make No2 GDP per capita.

    dlz45 at 11:10 PM JST - 12th February The Japanese never lived there. It is territory of Ainu people, whom the >Japanese colonized. Historical fatherland of the Japanese is Korean >peninsula.

    That's wrong. The Ainu people were never "colonized" they were killed by ewartfre and absorbed by assimilation. The modern Japanese people can be genetially differentiated from people of the Korean Penninsula because they have traits going back to the Jomon people believed to have inhabited the Japanese archipelago from about 10,000 BC. The Ainu people are known to have the closest DNA match to the Jomon. The similarity to the Korean peole comes from the Yaoi migrations of 300 BC-300AD but by 600 AD Japan or "Wa" as it waws called, it's language and culture was different from the kingdoms of Silla, Goguryeo and Bakchae, the last of which Yamato formed an alliance against Tang of China. The Ainu are distinctly Japanese or rather proto-Japanese in this sense. One could make a better argument that the Okhotsk peoples inhabited those islands even before the Ainu.

    A few questions: Why do the WWII allied victors like the United States and Uniuted Kingdom to this date consider these islands to be Japanese Territory under Russian control? Why does the European Parliament take the position that these are not Russian territory?

    elbudamexicano you seem to have pulled a real boner on that one. Not only did Arny never play Rambo or appear in any Rambo movie, in the comedy Twins he pokes fun at a Stallone/Rambo poster.

    The FBI are often used as an investigative arm in Federal cases. Many of those cases of course don't involve crime or terrorism at all. Undoubtedly your comment is echoed by some of the special agents themselves.

    timeon at 11:06 AM JST - 8th February probably a mistake for "bathroom"? バストイレ？

    I saw the headline and quickly pictured a guy stuffed into a round white ceramic coffin. The non-American English speakers probably just pictured a bathroom.

    If we didn't see so much number 1, then we we wouldn't see any number 2. But the more number 2 there is the less problem the US has. Xie Xie.

    I don't know why she thinks this is new. My whole generation, and older grew up waiting for the Russians to nuke us. And yes, nukes in the hands of terrorists and rogue governments are far scarier than those held by normal countries because they don't have anything to lose by using them.

    I do. My wife makes this mega roll that I get to scarf down. But I was under the impression that the direction you face can change from year to year. Or am I wrong there?

    You're 100% correct and that's exactly what the US and it's Asian aliies have been saying. And they can start by forcing North Korea to stop provoking a war instead of coddling it.
