Yeah, and I remember all those books by Mr. Sony talking about why his business model was so great --- they are all but bankrupt, with inferior products living off the name.
I need to pull out old Newsweeks with "Japan Overtaking the US" panic on the covers.

I think these "panics" are used as motivational tools to get our butts moving. That is why there is always a #2 country supposedly right on our heels.
China is the new #2 and has some BIG problems that it needs to take care of before they become the next USSR or Japan.
USSR tried to beat us militarily. Japan tried to beat us economically. China is trying on both fronts.
We also have some room for improvement that, if done correctly, could move us out of reach for a number of years.
