OK, how about China owning the semiconductor industry. IN CHINA. Is that the same as the Japanese owning a building in NYC? Should we send the whole semi industry to China, and then hope they build a few plants back in the USA years from now? Or would you rather we do something about it now, to stop it from being sucked out of the country? Because believe me, the US CEOs and corporate elites running these companies won't blink twice as they tear it down in the USA and send it to China.

So you agree that Japan should not be part of this bashing?
Since I did not take up a cudgel for China, I feel no need to address your sino-scenario.
