Clown. You are bringing up the rear. I mentioned in post #58 that Japan's external debt was something I did not expect but could be chalked up to Japan's government debt being bought by foreigners.
Japan has a trade surplus and some of their debt is still owned by foreigners? I thought that was impossible?
I am glad that you finally admitted you were wrong.
External debt is the sum total of nation's trade deficits. Japan does not have an external debt.
That was funny!
