Maybe you are kinda right but then again you maybe a bit overly biased, too. The Japanese have a little more than $300 billion in US Treasury Bonds and are also heavily invested in US equities. If I am not mistaken, they also have a fair amount of cash. Whether you like it or not, they still exercise not a little clout. But what bugs me is that they are not being aggressive in solving their problems. They have been overly cautious. Maybe bull-fighting should be introduced as a sport in Japan so that in time (sooner than later, I would hope) the Japanese will learn to literally grab their bull by the horns!, if necessary, or kill it with finesse, when it comes to solving their problems.
