Seriously to the OP, given the responses given here, you would get a more insightful opinion of the state of the Japanese economy down your local bar/pub. Really if anyone here had a modicum of economic analytical ability, there wouldn't be faffing around teaching English.


This is a ridiculous comment. Are you suggesting that English teachers are only capable of talking about teaching English? Certainly people are capable of intelligently discussing economics, politics, the arts, or sports without having to be a business executive, politician, artist, or athlete.


I was just going on what had already been posted. Your post was a much better response.

Kind of besides the point, but according to the CIA 2007 world factbook:

Per capita GDP in China: $7,800
Per Capita GDP in Japan: $33,100

The GDP measured by puchasing power parity of China is more than Japan, but when measured by the official exchange rate Japan's is almost double China's.
