A lot of people also voted with their feet and left japan

To south America.  Then what happened?  Like in stock market, when people make decisions they look backward. For those people who left china with a lot wealth, they will not make the wealth again in US and Canada.  They stand to loose. For us early comers, we missed the greatest opportunity in china. While some of my classmates start to retire, I still have to work another facade or more.  It is sad.
