Stitch,

Yours, << The Japanese are behaving as if they know that U.S. proposals will not do anything for them. We suspect that they expect events in China to overtake emerging plans, insufficient as they are anyway. >>

Ominous!

What do you know of things like competitive intelligence gathering between Japan and China ? Its rather clear and obvious that there is a 'joined at the hip' rivalry between these two Asian cultures. I would suspect that there is something like a larger-than-life gigantic go game being played between these two countries in a sort of never ending struggle of who has the most influence over the region and the other.

Are we Americans blinded by our relative isolation from Asia ? Is this sort of like the economic rivalry that precipitated the Declaration of Independence and continued thereafter for decades between the US and England a couple centuries back ? This also makes me think of an NFL analogy. Is Japan and China sort of like Green Bay and Minnesota struggling over the NFC Central division ? The US might then be likened to the 49ers and Europe to the Eastern division. Oh my! I'm sure to have offended someone somewhere with this one...Finally, who gets to be Denver and what the heck is the Super Bowl representative of and more importantly perhaps when is it going to be played ? - Idle musings in a lackluster market.
