Ken,

Japan's 20-year bond has a rate of 1.364%. I would love to borrow a couple of million dollars from them at that rate and invest it here in US
30 year bonds at 4.95%. I promise to pay them on time and to be grateful.

Russia does not count as a G-7 nation. Japan will have to raise its interest rates a little and the rest of the world will need to lower its rates as much as they can. Japan can not raise its interest rates a lot because it might cause bankruptcies among a lot of their businesses.

Japan needs to fix its business model rather than trying to export it way out of its mess as they are wont to do. Thus the dollar at 116 Y is not the real problem. China would have devalued if the dollar exceeded 150 yen. This would have caused further instability.
