 The omen of the world financial crisis depends on Japan. If the yen appreciates, it means that the world's safe-haven funds will return to Japan. Japan is the country with the largest overseas assets in the world and the largest creditor of the United States. Its financial policies will trigger a global financial crisis.


“ I heard a joke in the United States. An American and a Japanese were walking in the rainforest, and suddenly a hungry lion rushed over. Seeing this, the Japanese immediately squatted down and started to change his running shoes.

"Do you think you can outrun a lion that is eager for a full meal? What a stupid guy!" The American sneered. 

The Japanese replied: "I don't need to run faster than a lion, I just need to run faster than you." ——Akio Morita
