Re: when THEY can barely afford food.

aki, you really need more careful with facts.

GDP - per capita based on CIA data:

US: $28,600
Japan: $22,700
Singapore: $21,200
HongKong: $26,000
Korea: $14,200
Taiwan: $14,700

If Asian could only afford food, how can world raw material's price dropped like rock when they have a depression?
