And yet the Japan stock market index is at an all time high. This kinda shows why you shouldn't trust stock market figures.
In JPY it is at its peak, how about in USD? Most of the big multinational companies in the index make their money in dollars, not yen. Same thing happens with the FTSE100, GBP falls, index rises.

Oh but some people there have been telling that the stock market is the ultimate indicator of economy :D So I guess Japan is actually doing great. /s
This is what Americans want to do to China's economy.

Warren Buffet alone owns roughly 10% of each of the top five Japanese trading firms. Foreigners are taking advantage of the weak Yen to buy up Japanese companies. This means that profits made by those companies will flow to the West. The value of the Japanese stock market has gone up, but this is not good for the Japanese people in the long run. I don't care about Japan, but this must not be allowed to happen in China.
