They were one of the first and the removal of some of the restrictions on imports of finished goods into Japan immediately preceded their financial problems. Now I am not at this point asserting a direct connection because I have nbot researched theissue well enough but cetainly the coincidence should not be cavalierly dismissed.

As for the rest of your comments there are on point and factual.
Thanks.
