My prior sounds a bit too altruistic, perhaps. But, looking down the road, they know that consumer economy had better be there. How do they begin to ensure it? Surely some confidence on the part of the consumer can be addressed in more ways than jobs and income. Good companies with sound financing, delivering desirable products with good time to market.

Well, anyway, I'm off now.

Tom,

I think the 'five special' SEZs are being phased out also, but Suzhou at a slower rate.

I don't understand why it's there, but the yen is close to 110/$US. THis is bad for Japan, but excellent for HK (and China) if it stays anywhere near this level.

IMO the situation in Japan does not warrant the strength in the yen, but my knowledge of currencies is far short of what it should be.

FWIW,
Ron
