oh, my bad. yeah I remember the numerous news in the 80s that Japanese were snatching up properties in NYC and other places. I visited Japan couple of times in recent years, beautiful place and amazing culture. If _majority_ of Chinese citizens can reach the current level of Japan's living standard in, say, three decades(am I a little pessimistic?) it will be a truly remarkable achievement of the country and humanity, imho. But it's the ride that's exciting. We are living in an interesting time.
