Good point, but the size of the deficits is larger in the case of China (202 billion in 05) versus Japan (83 billion). We exported 55.4 billion in goods to Japan too, versus 41.8 billion to China, so at least Japan goes through the motions more of being a customer.

RE:"That reminded me of the story of a boxer (I think it was Archie Moore) who killed an opponent in the ring. Appearing in court, the judge asked the boxer if he had intended to harm his opponent. The boxer's reply - That is my job. (you boxing fans feel free to correct my version of this story)" The night before Jimmy Doyle (James Delaney) battled welterweight champion Sugar Ray Robinson in Cleveland in June of 1947, the champ had a dream that he killed his opponent in the ring. He frantically tried to have the promoter call off the fight, but he was persuaded to go on with the bout. They even brought in a Priest to convince Robinson to fight. Doyle was knocked out in eight rounds, and died the next day. Some say Robinson was never the same as a fighter after that night. At the inquest, when asked, "Did you intend to get Doyle in trouble?" his memorable response was "Mister, it's my business to get him in trouble."
