Of course, the political leaders of so called 'developing countries' would say that. At the very least they have to ensure they are seen by their own supporters to be taking an appropriate stand rather than doing nothing.

The truth is though. the so called 'developing countries' have been bled…

Let's be really honest here. The ingenuity and drive of the Japanese is legendary. That's no understatement.

However, two points to consider here.

Wouldn't that also be true of the Chinese and Tibet? Would the Chinese prefer to be strong enough to assert sovereignty through military conquest rather than dilly dallying with territorial claims? You betcha.

...just make US $$$ void and switch to the new currency. China would really like that.
