>>Also about living in a cave, it seems this cave is shared by the governments of China and Japan, <<

I don't think China is living in a "cave". In the last 12 months, more than 90% of US debt bought by Japan, not by China. And China has to keep plenty of US$ since oil can only be bought by US$. As of the end of August, China had about $300 billion US debt. And this year from Jan. to Sept. only, China spent $40 billion on oil imports. If China gets rid off all, or even most most of, its US$ reserve, what are they going to use to buy oil???
