do you think china's 6% or so gdp growth is mainly contributed
by the state-owned enterprises? japan plays a very important role
here. japan's economy is so strong that even without any big
military power, it receives the respect from the us, europe, and
the rest world. if japan's economy collapsed, china would not
survive coz china was not like old ming/qing dynasties. china's
door is wide open. you dont want to see china closes its door
again, do you?

patriotism is good. just dont go extreme and lose your mind.
fact is fact. everyone can see and feel it in his/her daily life
even without having to refer to the statistic data. be cool and
think it over.
